Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal

by Marco Polo

The grand tomb of the empress Mumtaz-i-Mahal in Agra

Even if you have seen many illustrations, there is nothing like a visit to the Taj Mahal. Magical, like in a dream, the Taj Mahal appears when you approach India's most famous building. Behind the long, stretched ponds of the garden - they symbolize the four Paradise Rivers - the marble white mausoleum seems to float over its pedestal between the flanking red cubes. Shah Jahan had the monument built for his wife, Mumtaz-i-Mahal, around 1632/50 in – according to contemporary tradition - 22 years. Depending on the position of the sun, the Taj Mahal appears different every time, if you’re lucky, you’ll see it more than once.

I wish one of those god nuts lands a bomb on the statue of liberty, the taj mahal, and one of those pyramids. Fed up of those wonders.
