　　印度 泰姬陵

　　印度的泰姬陵是世界奇跡之一也是最美麗的陵墓。該陵墓是由沙賈汗印度蒙兀兒時(shí)期帝國(guó)皇帝沙·賈漢建造的，以紀(jì)念其最寵愛的王妃--穆姆塔茲·瑪哈爾 。泰姬陵位于印度北部的阿格拉，選擇白色的大理石建造是愛的象征。這座建筑被公認(rèn)為蒙兀兒時(shí)期水平的最高峰。

　　Story goes that the emperor was grief stricken when he lost his beloved third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It took several thousands of craftsmen, artisans and about twenty years to construct it. The masons, stonecutters, carvers, inlayers, calligraphers, painters and others were brought from the entire empire as well as from Iran and Central Asia. Semi-precious stones were used for inlay ornamentation. It later became the mausoleum of Shah Jahan too. This is a huge tourist attraction with one to two million tourists visiting it every year.

　　相傳，沙·賈漢由于其第三個(gè)最寵愛的妻子--穆姆塔茲·瑪哈爾的逝去而十分悲傷。該建筑總共需要數(shù)以千記的工匠、技工、用時(shí)兩年才得以完成。這包括來(lái)自全國(guó)各地以及伊朗、中亞的石匠、石工、雕刻工、鑲嵌者、書法家、畫家及其他的人才。準(zhǔn)寶石的石頭用來(lái)做鑲嵌裝飾。后來(lái)，這也成為了沙·賈漢的陵寢。這個(gè)著名的景點(diǎn)每年吸引一到兩百萬(wàn)游客。
