[edit] Information
Secrets of the Taj Mahal We take a closer look at the Taj Mahal and revisit its history - why it was built and what meaning it possesses. Built in the 17th century by the Great Mogul Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal was built in honour of the love of his life, Mumtaz Mahal. Built on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, it is said to have required over 20,000 workers including the best craftsmen of the Empire. Millions of bricks were baked on site only to disappear forever under flawless white marble. A heavenly memorial to the Queen of the World, or as a poet described it: "A teardrop on the cheek of time". A love poem set in stone and the most perfect building in the world.
