Taj Trivia
The Man Of Marble
New insights on the fascinating Taj Mahal, wonder of the world
- Shah Jahan picked the site for Taj for its great view from Raja Jai Singh of Amber, in exchange for four mansions
- Mumtaz Mahal's body was moved thrice: from Zainabad garden to the Taj complex and finally inside the Taj
- She shares the Taj complex with two begums Shah Jahan married after her death
- When finished, Shah Jahan visited Taj only twice. His own burial was not grand-he was taken quietly by two men by boat and laid beside Mumtaz.
