During the last spring holidays I went to Agra. There I visited the Taj Mahal. It is built outside the city on the bank of the Yamuna. A large gateway of red stone provides the entrance. The Taj Mahal is a large and beautiful building. It stands on a raised platform. In the middle of the platform there is a splendid white dome. At its four corners there are four stately towers. Underneath the while dome are the tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan. These tombs were once inlaid with precious stones. The Taj is surrounded by garden on its three sides. On the fourth side, the river Yamuna grazes it. No one can describe its beauty.
