Many years ago, Shahjahan was the emperor of the Mughal Empire of India. He was a mighty king, but he had deep love in his heart - that love was Mumtaz Mahal.
Mumtaz was Shahjahan's beloved wife. He was not only the queen of the Rajmahal, but was the inspiration of the king. On the battlefield, in politics, or for the welfare of the people - Mumtaz was always beside Shahjahan.
One day Mumtaz became ill. He fell into the throes of death while giving birth. Before he died he told the king —
"Create something after my death so that people remember our love for ages."
To fulfill that last wish of Mumtaz, Shahjahan decided that he would build an establishment that would be a symbol of love, a sign of immortal beauty.
Seven years of planning, twenty years of construction, more than twenty thousand workers, a miracle of miracles - the Taj Mahal on the horizon.
When the sunlight falls on the body of white marble, the Taj Mahal changes the color - light pink in the morning, bright white at noon, and silver in the moonlight.
The Taj Mahal is not just a tomb, it is a story of heartbreaking love - where the soil, stones and time are sung together the immortal song of love.
Even today, billions of people around the world come to see the Taj Mahal, and in my mind -
"If love could have taken a form, it would have been the Taj Mahal."
