New Seven Wonders of the World is a contemporary attempt to create an alternative to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World list. The worldwide popularity poll was organized by the private, non-profit New Open World Corporation
The Taj Mahal, regarded as one of the most beautiful monuments, was tonight voted in a global poll as one of the new seven wonders of the world.
Officials of the I Media Corp, the Indian representative of 'New7wonders of the World', claimed that they got the information about the Mughal marvel getting into the list from the Swiss organisation which organised the worldwide campaign.
The official declaration of the new seven wonders of the world will be done in Lisbon at 1:45 a.m. (IST tomorrow).
Asked about the number of votes cast in favour of the Taj, 'the monument of love', the I Media Corp officials said they have no information regarding this.
"Information like the number of votes polled in favour of the Taj and the other selected monuments will be available only after the official declaration," they said.
The worldwide poll, in which people could vote for their favourite monument either online or through SMS, was conducted by the New 7 Wonders Foundation, a Swiss non-profit group. (Agencies)
