| Beautiful Taj Mahal |
The Taj Mahal is one of the most wonderful tourism
destinations in India and is aptly considered one of the greatest wonders of
the world. People all over the world desire to see the grandeur of the Taj
Mahal and only a lucky few get to see this wonder in marble. The Taj Mahal
signifies and glorifies human love, has withstood the test of time, and still
stands in all its glory. Emperor Shahjahan has firmly put Agra on the travel
and tourism map of the world.
Bits of the love story~
The beauty of Mumtaz Mahal, like the glorious Taj Mahal, was
unrivalled. She captured the mighty Emperor Shah Jahan's heart along with the
imagination of the court poets who likened her beauty to be brighter than that
of the moon.
Mumtaz Mahal or Arjumand Banu (her original name) was daughter
of Asaf Khan. She married Shah Jahan at the age of 14. Though she was the third
wife of Shahjahan, she remained his favorite throughout her life. She named
Mumtaz Mahal in 1612 after her marriage and remained an inseparable companion
of her husband till her death.
As a symbol of her faith and love she bore Shahjahan 14
children. Deeply in love with her, the emperor conferred upon her the highest
honor of the land - the royal seal - Mehr Uzaz. Stories of their love spread
far and wide during the Mughal rule.
The brave and wise queen was a pillar of support, love and
comfort to the mighty emperor and gave him wise counsel when required. So
inseparable were they that she accompanied him to all his conquests.
It was during one such trip that the queen who was nine
months pregnant succumbed to complicated. She breathed her last after
delivering their 14th child (a daughter) in the city of Burhanpur on June 17,
1631.
It is believed that in her deathbed she extracted from Shah
Jahan a promise to build her a mausoleum unparalleled in beauty and
magnificence. The Emperor, irreconcilable in his grief, went on to build one of
the greatest wonders of the world.
There are two different best views in Taj Mahal, which are sunrise and also sunset.
