Tribute to love, the Taj Mahal is mostly an amazingly beautiful building.
A huge monument to love for his deceased wife Mumtaz Mahal (who actually died while giving birth), the Taj Mahal was finished in 1653. According to legend, Shah Jahan's hair turned grey overnight for sorrow of his lost love. It has obviously been a major task to build the monument. Especially when you come closer to the Taj, it becomes clear that the building is not just white, but is very delicately ornamented with precious stones.
