Taj Mahal - In the
year 1607 when a prince of the royal Mughal household strolled
down the Meena Bazaar,
caught a glimpse of a girl hawking silk and glass beads.
Five years and a
wife later (in those days princes did not marry for love alone) the
regal 20-yr-old
went to wed his 19-yr-old bride. It was a fairytale union from the start,
one that withstood
court intrigues, battles for succession and finally, the grand coronation.
And when she died
on the 19th year of their marriage, he etched her story in stone.
The Taj Mahal is
the living symbol of the monumental passion of Shah Jahan and
Arjumand Banu. Which
other love story has so grand a memorial?
