the taj mahal is a mausoleum built under mughal emperor, shan jahan in memory of his favorite wife, mumtaz mahal. also known as the "taj", it is considered to be the finest example of mughal architecture. in 1983 the taj became a unesco world heritage site and was cited as "the jewel of muslim art in india and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
we saved the best for last and visited the taj mahal during our last week in india. here are a few shots of the magnificent mausoleum…
