You all know about this structure. Right? For those of you dont know , Taj Mahal is an ivory white marble mausoleum in the Indian City of Agra.
The Taj Mahal was commisioned by Shah Jahan to be built in the memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal.
WHY IT ISNT ALL THAT ROMANTIC?
Mumtaz Mahal was Shah Jahan's third wife and she was engaged to him when she was 14. Shah Jahan had 2000 women in his harem but Mumtaz was his favourite one who died from back to back pregnancies when giving birth to her 14th child ( seriously?)
Taj Mahal was built thousands of Jahan's slaves working day and night and took a time for 20 years.
If this is called love then india has plenty of it. According to record , 5 women in India die every hour during childbirth. The reason for these deaths is the same. Back to back pregnancies
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this. I really enjoyed writing about it though. Thanks @sirknight for this topic. Thanks
Shah Jahan was another solomon in terms of wives and concubines. Thanks for cool pictures.
Thanks for the englightenment. Never really knew the story behind Taj Mahal, only saw it in a movie once.
