One of the most beautiful buildings in the world is the famous TAJ MAHAL, built on a riverbank outside Agra, India. It's actually a tomn. Made fo white amrble inlaid with gemstones, it was started in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife who died in childbirth. Some 20,000 workers took 22 years to finish work on the tomb and surrounding buildings and grounds.

Do you know the real story of the TAJ MAHAL and what happened to the workers who built this structure?

No I don't know what happened to them, you should tell us! This is a very beautiful building! I've always heard about it but have never actually seen a photo of it, it's beautiful!

Yes,I know about this soulful gift and I also know what happened to the workers,just as you know.The workers hands were chopped off to prevent them from duplicating the beauty of TajMahal.While love could be the most beautiful emotion one can experience (and also the most painful one), I don't understand how someone in love could be so mean.Yeah, love is blind,but only to the lover,not to countless people who help you with gifting your soulmate the most memorable gift and registering your name in the leaflets of history.I love the beauty of Tajmahal,but feel sad that love could result in such malice-A story that is hardly ever told.

That building must be very beautiful and ancient and in fact a tourist spot. But what happened to the workers, if they chopped off their hands, is not really justified and the number is big. That's unfair and the emperor should have suffered punishment. Thanks for the information.

Beautiful building but many horror stories might emanate from it. Also a wonderful story of love but proves to be a selfish one. The emperor is inhuman and surely insane. Many people especially lovers dream to go there. Me too, but I'm saddened to know what the emperor did to the workers and I don't like to see the place anymore.

The only story i know is that the architect of the Taj Mahal had his right hand cut of by the emperor as he was afraid that this guy will build a more beautiful structure
