Surely one of the most romantic monuments of the world, the Taj Mahal is a must on the itinerary of every visitor to India. Designed and built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to the luminescent beauty of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, after her death in 1631, a single visit does not do justice to the Taj. Like the famed beauty of the woman it pays tribute to, the monument changes with the light. It presents different facets at different times, and there are exquisite details it reveals hesitantly, almost shyly, to those who take the time.The ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur offers much to delight, a city of history and culture, massive forts, magnificent palaces, exquisite temples, marvellous gardens, golden sands and warm people.
