At the beginning of the 17th century, the Grand Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan erected the marble mausoleum, the Taj Mahal, as a tribute to and in grief for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Hahal, known as ‘the darling of the palace’. This action led to an upturn in both the economy and culture of the country and appears to have been an act of reparation, bearing in mind that the Mogul was a direct descendant of the Mughal Timur, known as Tamerlan the Great, who was infamous for his indescribable cruelty. The magnificence of the mausoleum is still a reminder of the noble act performed by the Grand Mughal who through the centuries, expiated a great injustice. The Taj Mahal is a magnificent wonder of the world that was originally dedicated to love, a wonder of the world for which there is still no explanation!
