Experiencing the Taj Mahal without being cognizant of its
history is grossly irrelevant and absurd. The extravagant
expression has not come easy. ThereThere underlays an oceanof
emotions and a wild passion that led the king to erect such a
masterpiece in snow-white marble. It's a monument, the only one,
where perhaps, ever inch of the edifice, from one corner to
the other, expresses the beauty of Mumtaz Mahal. Mughal
emperor's Shah Jahan's intense feelings and warmheartedness
can be felt at the very first instant as you arrive here to
fix your gaze upon one of the most phenomenal structures in the
world.

It is said, that after the completion of the construction, when
emperor Shah Jahan viewed the Taj, he ordered his men to
cut off the right hand of the master architect Ustad Isa, so
the later may not be able to erect such a stately and
imposing edifice again in his life. There's another legend
that says Shah Jahan was contemplating to build yet another Taj
Mahal across the river in black marble.
