This is after a 12 hour train ride to Agra!
What an amazing love story! The Emperor marries the love of his life, Mahal, when she is 20. She has 14 kids in the next 19 years and dies at 39 giving birth to her last child. His love for her was so great that he built an amazing and beautiful monument for her. He put such love, workmanship and beauty into this marble monument of love. It took 20,000 people and 22 years to build. It is one of the seven wonders of the world!
The Emperors third son, after killing his older two brothers, became the last of the Great Mogul Emperors. He was a bad ruler. He imprisoned his father in Fort Agra for the last 7 years of his life. His prison window had a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal.
After the Taj Mahal, I visited Mother Teresa's Orphanage.
After the Taj Mahal, we visited Mother Teresa's Orphanage. It was a very good day...
