An immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, the Taj Mahal is the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. - Source: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/252/.
I would love to visit the Taj Mahal as it is a symbol of love and affection that the King, Shah Jahan had for his beloved wife Queen Mumtaz.
There are kingdoms,nations and royal families that ruled areas in the past, they have been forgotten, maybe only preserved in the books of history.
But by Shah Jahan building this tomb for his wife after her death, the entire world remembers their story, history and culture. Millions of people flock to visit the tomb and take out tourist like pictures with their loved one posing next to them.
Local and sometimes guest also use the backdrop of this location to pop the famous question; "Will you marry me?"
The Taj Mahal is a great symbol of love and affection.
