The Taj Mahal, Agra, India

A few years ago we went to India and Nepal, on a wonderful trip. In Agar, India, we went to the Taj Mahal, the burial place which Shah Jahan built for his favorite wife, of three, I believe. The burial place cost so much that Shah Jahan's son deposed him, took power, and locked the Shah up about a mile from the Taj so that he could see the building but not visit it and his wife's tomb for the rest of his life. This seems to me to be a sad ending to the story of such a very beautiful building.
