Mumtaz Mahal

Credits: Wikipedia . (The rest of the photos are mine) It must be a many-splendored thing to be a M ughal emperor's favorite wife.... You get to rest in peace in a m arble m ausoleum. Some quick facts about Mumtaz: she had a 'deep and loving m arriage' to Shah Jahan, was given an imperial seat, M uhr Uzah,   m othered fourteen children and died at the birth of the fourteenth. M umtaz M ahal is enshrined in magnificent structure.  The tombs inside are empty, cameras are not allowed, but I had what I call an archaeology m oment - staring awed at the hole that leads to her actual body 21 meters below. Now I can say I have really been to India! Sharing with: Mrs Nesbitt and the ABC Team &  Our World
