wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while accompanying
her husband in Behrampur in a campaign 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".
