The Taj Mahal and true love story.....

In this paragraph I would like to share with you about the one of the seven wonders of our world”Taj Mahal“and beautiful love story behind this monument. Shah Jahan, the son of Jehangir, the fourth Mughal emperor of India, he fell in love in Arjumand Banu Begum at first time. At that time he was 14 years old and she, a Muslim Persian princess, was 15. After meeting her, Shah Jahan went back to his father and declared that he wanted to marry her. However, in that time they could not get married but five years after they could achieve their goal to be together. Shah Jahan had other wives also, but, Mumtaz Mahal was his favorite and accompanied him everywhere, even on military campaigns. Unfortunately, when Mumtaz Mahal was giving birth to their 14th child, she died due to some complications. Poor Shah Mahal was so heartbroken after her death that he ordered the court into morning for two years. There was no music, no feasting, and no celebration of any kind. Before the death his wife permitted him to love another woman but eventhough he had so many wives he never could love them as his first wife. Some time after her death, Shah Jahan undertook the task of erecting the world's most beautiful monument in the memory of his beloved. It took 22 years and the labor of 22,000 workers to construct this monument, which is also said to be the last wish of Mumtaz Mahal.
Some legend says that when this monument was building the wish of Shah Jahan was that the main enter of this monument had to be located so that when he desire to look at the monument he could see it from his personal palace. But he could not see that because he was imprisoned by his son because of the emperor throne. Before he went to the prison he was asked his last wish, and his last wish from his son was, seeing the monument of his beloved from the window of the ward. This is the true story of the Taj Mahal of India, which has mesmerized many people with its bewitching beauty. And also loved and admired by meeee.
