Taj Mahalv

The Taj Mahal is India`s premier tourist icon and, arguably, the most recognizable mausoleum in the world. Over 7 million people visit it every year – more than any other museum or palace on the planet. But behind the dry statistics (22 years of construction, 20,000 workers, 28 types of semi-precious stones) lies the tragic story of Emperor Shah Jahan, who immortalized his wife`s name at the cost of his own freedom.
