Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while
accompanying her husband in Behrampur in a camp aign
to crush a rebellion, after giving birth to their 14th
child. Her death so crushed the emperor that all his hair
and beard were said to have grown snow white in a few
months. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she extracted
four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj;
second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind
to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her
death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises.
Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years.
Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. An
Iranian architect designed it and it is best appreciated
when the architecture and its adornments are linked to the
passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal
love".
