The Taj Mahal has become a symbol of endless love and devotion. Set against the backdrop of the Yamane River. This tribute of love was built by the third Mughal emperor of India, Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth.

It took 12 years of hard labour and 20,000 labourers to build this monumental structure. The most fascinating feature of this wonder is the garden with its water channels, lotus pools and colourful flowerbeds and trees.

In India the lotus is seen in architecture – the dome of the Taj Mahal resembles an upside-closed lotus, resting on its petals.
