Taj Mahal Ranked Third Among Top Landmarks in the World
According to TripAdvisor's 2013 Travellers Choice Attractions Awards, Taj Mahal was ranked third in the list of Top 25 landmarks.
The top two places were taken by Machu Picchu in Peru and Angkor Wat in Cambodia respectively.
"The winners of Travelers' Choice Attractions awards were determined based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews of attractions," said a company statement.
Taj Mahal, listed among the new Seven Wonders of the World, is renowned the world over for its architecture and aesthetic beauty.
Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, the white marble mausoleum in the northern Indian city of Agra is also a symbol of enduring love.
In 1983, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal attracts 2-4 million visitors annually, with more than 200,000 from overseas.
It shares the latest honour alongside Petra World Heritage Site in Jordan and Bayon Temple in Cambodia, which are ranked fourth and fifth respectively in the list of 25 top landmarks in the world.
Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people . If I'm not there, I go to work.
If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.
If you want to know what God thinks about money, just look at the people He gives it to.
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
