They say perhaps this is the most magnificient building and it's architecture at its supreme. It was built by the Mogul Emperor, Shah Jehan, then ruler of India. After the death of his beloved wife and soul mate, Mamtaj, he wanted to show the World his true love and devotion for his departed queen.
With this huge project there was vast expenditure and more than 20 thousands labourers working for days and nights for many years and when it was finally built it had the diamond stone 'Kohinoor' displaying its charm and grace, reflecting on the River Jamuna. This splendid structure was a joy to behold. But many of the workers lost their lives and most of them did not live to see the finished building.
Princess Diana sat near the visitor's bench alone! She went there after splitting from Prince Charles.
Visitors from all over the world specially go to Agra, Delhi to behold and try to understand the meaning of true love. I hope the readers of this blog could one day go there and could spend a memorable holiday.
India is a friendly country and one has to go there to enjoy the scenery.
Mintu
