If you dont' mind then let me ask you to correct some typo error in your report. It is always a useful exercise to cross check before you post stories.
Here are some more facts about TAJ MAHAL:
The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
While the white domed marble mausoleum is its most familiar component, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. Building began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, and employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen.
The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.

Your comment is very informative and much of its true.
I hope you must visit once in life at Taj Mahal.
I have visited thrice to Taj Mahal in my life.
please,note,I am totaly Indian hindu,despite that
I hope,to visit at Mecca,to see the holy place of Lord 'Allah'.
Thanks.
Yours,
aarana.
However I am not sure whether you will be able to get anywhere near Mecca which is the holiest place in Islam as what I know is that non muslims are NOT Allowed to enter Mecca.
Even foreign journalists who cover Annual Hajj for their respective media organisations are muslims...this is what I know for sure.
Anyway thanks for your kind reply to my comments.
regards,
cj
