 Taj
Mahal Tour
Mughal
emperor Shah Jahan's marble mausoleum
for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, known as "Taj
Mahal," is the World's Greatest
Monument to Love. One of the famous
legends about the Taj Mahal is that
the hands of the master masons who
built it were cut off by the emperor,
so that they could never build
anything lovelier. The other is that
the mausoleum was constructed in
secrecy behind high walls, and a man
who tried to sneak a preview was
blinded for his interest in the
architecture.
Taj Mahal
must be seen: to remind each of us
that the world is real, that the sound
is always truer than an echo, the
original is always more forceful than
its image in a mirror.
