Day
05 / Agra - Delhi
Early morning at sunrise visit TAJ MAHAL- the fifth
Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, built it in 1631 in th
e
memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim
Persian princess. She died while accompanying her
husband in Behrampur in a campaign to crush a
rebellion, after giving birth to their 14th child. Her
death so crushed the emperor that all his hair and
beard were said to have grown snow white in a few
months. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she
extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that
he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again;
third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth,
that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He
kept the first and second promises. Construction began
in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand
people were deployed to work on it. An Iranian
architect designed it and it is best appreciated when
the architecture and its adornments are linked to the
passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of
eternal love".
