Located across the Yamuna River, the Little Taj Mahal is also a Mughal-era mausoleum built by Nur Jahan, the concubine of Jahangir, for her parents between 1622-1628. Although the Little Taj Mahal is a small cemetery, it is surrounded by grass, white marble and green grass. It is in an important position in the history of Mughal architecture. It is the beginning of the transition of Mughal architecture from the majestic simplicity of the early days to the graceful elegance of the later generations.

The small Taj Mahal is a very unique building, the scale is obviously slightly smaller than the Taj Mahal, and it is also one of the attractions, but compared to the Taj Mahal, the name is very small, just borrowed a similar name, in the evening, the sunset is good.
In the Mughal Dynasty of ancient India, there was a beauty named Banu. It was recorded that Banu was the daughter of a minister in the palace. Banu was known as the "closed moon and shame flower" in the court. Even Shajahan was very excited to see it, and the 19-year-old Banu married the prince Shajahan. In 1628 Shajahan was crowned king after more than a year of fighting with other princes, and the fifth king of the Mughal dynasty was born.
The small Taj Mahal is less visited, and usually visits the Taj Mahal.
Indian tourist attractions are more expensive for foreigners than for locals.
No shoes are allowed to enter the Taj Mahal, and there is a fee to store shoes.
Very worth a visit, recommend everyone
