First, Taj Mahal was a Hindu Temple Tejo-Mahalay, a Shiva temple which was built in 1155 AD by Raja Paramardi Dev and a Sanskrit inscription too supports the conclusion that the Taj originated as a Siva temple. Read the book "The Truth of Taj Mahal" by P.N.Oak.

PPandey, rather "one of the most beautiful historical structure" would be more fitting, there are plenty of beautiful modern architectural structures in India.
