If there is a building which symbolizes a country, such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia,
then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they
wouldn’t be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work.
But she died in 1631 during her childbirth. The emperor was heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from
central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill and in 1658 his son, Aurangzeb, imprisoned his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in
prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife, who he could never forget.
