We know Taj Mehal as the symbol of Love
according to wikipedia , It is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and stands as a symbol of eternal love.
Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Islamic and Indian architectural styles
But the other lesser known facts are :
- Mumtaz was Shahjahan's 4th wife out of his 7 wives
- Shahjehan killed mumtaz's husband to marry her
- Mumtaz died in het 14th delivery
- He then married Mumtaz's sister ...
Now the question arises , where the hell is Love ??? : D
