    I would like to talk about one of the seven wonders of the world the Taj Mahal so the Taj Mahal is located in the beautiful beautiful city of Agra in the province of Uttar Pradesh India. I have always read about the Taj Mahal and looked at the mentions of a mention of Taj Mahal in many advertisements in the Indian in the news and the daily soaps Indian advertisements so I always wanted to visit this historic building. This historical building is of great importance since it is a UNESCO heritage a well-preserved site and it is a magnificent Mughal architectural building showcasing the prowess of the Mughal architecture during that time. This building was built in 1549 AD by Shah Jahan in remembrance of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal so this is an icon of love the symbol of love the love of a husband towards his wife.

    I've recently been to Mysore with my friends. I've been on a vacation. There I went to a place called Mysore Palace and I think it's a very beautiful piece of architecture. There while exploring the palace, I think it took about almost half, almost four to five hours to explore each part of the palace. I think it contains most of the beautiful architecture pieces coming to the Mughal art, etc. I think as the rulers changed, as type of the ruling changed, I think it restored all parts of it very beautifully. I came across these amazing paintings of the rulers which have ruled Mysore and I really found very appreciative of how they restored and how they stored all of this. I came across many architectures, architecture forms and many accessories in that form. There was a section where it displayed all of the jewellery and all of the architecture or even weaponry used at that time. I found it very fascinating. It really poked at my interest and I think even though how many people have come and destroyed it, there are some parts of it which were destroyed. I think the system nowadays, I think they restored it very nicely and some of them unfortunately have not been destroyed. I really enjoyed the visit of the Mysore Palace.

    A historical building I would like to talk about is Charminar. My friend who is a resident of Hyderabad introduced me to this place, Charminar. It is most important place for Muslims around the area. As I mentioned earlier, here the Muslims believe that when they took a round around this Charminar, their wishes will be granted and they will have a lifetime of happiness. The unique structure of this place made me speechless. 45 pillars are used to construct this place. Apart from this, the building's cement is a particular thing we have to talk about. Furthermore, the food around this area is really good and definitely to try. In night times, there is also a light show going on which is famous for this area and the people around this are really eager for this light show. To add to addition, Charminar is a place not only Muslims but also other religions also take part in the rounding around this place.

    When I recently visited Delhi, I went to a place named Humayun's tomb. Humayun's tomb was built in 1600 century by his son Akbar. It's basically built as a memory of his father. Being a civil engineering student, I had a keen interest on observing the architecture involved in the building. When I first went to the place, I observed what kind of foundation they used from the notice board. Then when I looked at its intricate carvings on every dome, I was surprised by its Persian architecture style. The tomb was surrounded by a huge garden which has similar architectural buildings around the tomb. It also has four to five entrances where the kings used to go in earlier times. There is also a special Persian style arch in the middle of the Humayun tomb which translates peace and harmony which it symbolically represents.

    I would like to talk about a serious thing in our country called Taj Mahal. It is one of the most precious monuments ever built by a prominent person named Shah Jahan. This building is created for the recalling memory of his wife Mumtaz and this is the one of the famous and everlasting prominent buildings in the India so far and the building was built by Shah Jahan by the 19th century. As of now the architectural and technical side of the building was so much powerful. Also it's been a famous tourist attraction for the people in India. I really love to be visiting Taj Mahal.

    A historic building that I would like to respond is Taj Mahal which is considered or to be known as one of the eight wonders and Taj Mahal is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is very well known that Taj Mahal is a beautiful historic building ever in the history of mankind. It is famous because it represents the symbol of love. Shah Jahan which is a former ruler or king during the period of early Mughal kingdom and Mumtaz his wife died. So for that to represent her love of mind Shah Jahan built this fort and why it is famous is there are so many conspiracies over the theory of Taj Mahal but the main reason is the Taj Mahal is fully built by white marble by handmade architects like there is no machines used, no machineries, no such things. Only fewer architects at that time and it is impossible not impossible but it is hard to create such a building or monument only from marble in a single structure that is a great way to know about it.

    اگر آپ کے لیے ہیستوریکل بنیاد بات کریں گے ، آج میں ہیستوریکل بنیاد بناتا ہوں گے ، میں اگرہ پہلی مرد گیا تھا ، پھر میں اس تاج مہل کو دیکھا تھا ۔ یہ شاہ جہاں کی اپنی مام تاج مہل کے لئے بنیاد تھا۔ لہٰذا میں آج یوٹیوب کو کسی بھی یہی سے سکھا تھا ، ایک ہی شہرکار بنیاد کو آگرہ میں بنیاد تھا ، میں اس تاج مہل کے بارے میں سیکھا تھا ، میں اس تاج مہل کو پہلی بار جانتا ہوں ، جب میں وہاں گیا تھا ، میں بہت ساری چیزیں دیکھتا ہوں ، وہ بیٹھا گیا تھا ، بھی بہت ساری غریب لوگ بھی وہاں آئے تھے ، سب جنہوں نے اس تجھے امید کر رہا تھا ، کیونکہ اس تجھے اپنی پیاری کا سمبول ہے ، میں بھی اس کی مام تاج اور شاہ جہاں دیکھتا ہوں ، بھی میں کسی تاریخی بڑھنگ نہیں دورتا ہے ، میں اسے پہلے دن گیا تھا ، کبھی وہ دن پر یہ ہی تھا کہ یہ میری دن تھا ، تاج مہل کی خوبصورت ، یہ ایک ارزیس تھا ، کیونکہ پہلے دن میں یہ تاریخی بڑھنگ کو دیکھا تھا ، میں یہ بڑھنگ کو جانتا تھا ، میرے یو ٹو دویاروں کے بارے میں ، کیونکہ وہ یو ٹو ڈائیڈر کے بارے میں ہیں ، لہذا میں اس مقام کے بارے میں بہت ساری تعلیم دیکھتا ہوں ، بھی میں اس کے بارے میں جانتا ہوں ، بھی میں اس پر بہت ساری پیچھروں کو کلک کرتا ہوں ، کسی شخص اس پر پیش کرتا ہے ، لہذا سب سے بڑے میں میں کہہ رہا ہوں کہ یہ میرے زندگی میں دیکھنے کے بارے میں بہت بہترین بڑھنگ تھا۔
