Today I visited the amazing Taj Mahal. It's a world wonder that must be seen in your lifetime to believe it's beauty. A simple picture just doesn't do it justice.
Built by emperor Shah Jahan as the tomb and tribute to the wife he loved so much and who died at the young age of 39. Theirs was a true love story.
The Taj took 20 years to build using some 20,000 workers many from distant lands. They weren't slaves, on the contrary they were artists who loved the work and were well paid. The Taj was built beginning in 1632.
The structure carries the Mughal Islamic design with beautiful white marble and many carved walls with real stone inlays.
I was in awe and honored to have had the chance in my life to see it and walk around it and in its interior.
