Mahal Story
Taj Mahal
Is one of the seven Wonders of the
world. Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal
and once the capital of the Mughal
empire, has several monuments which
display the splendour of Mughal
architecture. It was here that Babar,
the founder of the dynasty, had the
first formal Persian garden laid out
on the banks of the river Yamuna.
Akbar, his grandson, raised the
towering ramparts of the great Red
Fort, within whose walls Jahangir
built rose-red palaces, courts and
gardens, and which Shahajahan
embellished with marble mosques,
palaces and pavilions of gem-inlaid
white marble.

of love.

Prince qhurram was the fifth son of
emperor Jahangir. He was the man of
extraordinary brilliance, a great
diplomat, a warrior and a lover of
art. Once Jahangir wrote, "In art, in
reason, in battle there is no
comparison between him and my other
children". In the honor of his
numerous victories Jahangir entitled
him as "Shah Jahan", "The King of the
World". After Jahangir's death all his
sons quarreled for the thrown, after
fighting for years Shah Jahan killed
all his brothers under suspicious
circumstances and became the emperor,
besides him stood his queen, comrade
and confidante.

palace"

"The chosen one of the palace". A rare

the diplomatic matters. She too was a

that he would build a mausoleum as a
