Talk of love and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet would be put to shame by the love Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had for his wife Yamuna. I mean, he even erected a mausoleum built of pure white marble for her.
That this mausoleum is the premier attraction to visitors in India is not in doubt. The 1653 masterpiece would cost a whopping US$ 827 million were it to be constructed today. That is why Taj Mahal is a World Wonder that has been inscribed into the UNESCO heritage sites and receives an upward of 3 million visitors every year. Let it feature at the top of your bucket list. It is a destination you will not regret visiting.
