The Taj Mahal (1630 A.D.) Agra, India
This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan,
the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his
beloved late wife. Built out of white marble and standing
in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded
as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor
was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see
the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.
The Taj Mahal is a New7Wonder of the World and represents
the greatest symbol of - Love & Passion!
