Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal in Agra
is special.  Most travelers call this wonder in India the world’s most beautiful building – ever. Some say it’s worth a trip half way around the world just to see it.

Labor of love

The grieving Mogul emperor Shah Jahan erected it in the 1600s as the final resting place for his beloved queen. He wanted to perpetuate her memory. It took 22 years and 22,000 people to complete the Taj Mahal.
