Suitably awestruck. A reminder of the story....Shajahan the Mogul Emperor, and his beloved wife Mumtaz, planned this Mausoleum together after the 14th. child she was carrying died in her womb. Mumtaz knew she wouldn't survive and she died in 1631. They were a devoted couple and Mumtaz accompanied Shajahan on all his expeditions. The Taj took 22 years to build, and  20,000 workers.
