India is a country on the continent of Asia. More than 1.4 billion people live there! India has a long history, full of busy cities, bright festivals, and famous buildings. One of the most special places in India is the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal was built in 1632 in the city of Agra. Emperor Shah Jahan created it for the memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The building is made of white marble and covered with beautiful designs. Millions of people visit it each year to see its tall domes, gardens, and shining pools.
One of the most amazing things about the Taj Mahal is its perfect symmetry. Symmetry means both sides evenly match when split down the middle. The domes, towers, and even the reflection in the water are all balanced.
Now, get ready to explore this wonder up close in a virtual field trip—and soon, you’ll even build your own version!
