The History of Taj Mahal in India
Hi friends,
The Taj Mahal of India was first described as "a drop of tear on the cheek of history" by India's poet laureate Ravbindranath Tagore. Who was Asia's first noble prize winner?
The Taj Mahal India's encompasses a tragic and enduring love story in the symmetrical dream in marble that is one of the senven Wonders of the World.
The Taj Mahal was created by Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughul emperor as a monument to his love for his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The Taj Mahal's construction began in 1631 and took 22 years to complete with a workforce of more than 22,000 men. It finished in 1653.
I went to the Taj Mahal in 2009.
