The Lost Wonder Of India
This famous building regarded as the shrine of love, is the mausoleum of Mumtaz, the favorite
of harem of Shah Jahan, one of foreign (Mughal) despot of India.
The name Taj Mahal means 'crown (peak) of Mughals.'
The dominance of people like Mumtaz and Shah Jahan over India just undermined all the good and beautiful in that country.
According to a legend Shah Jahan ordered to chop off the hands of the architect of this
miraculous building, so that the latter could not create anything similar. It is only
a legend, but it carries the spirit of the epoch. Besides, in any case we know names of
the despot and his insane wife, but not of the honorable wizards who have made this wonder.
Summing up, we can say that Mumtaz' mausoleum is also a splendid tomb of India's great past.
