Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal is an international emblem of love. It is believed that the monarch built this glorious monument to keep his promise that he had made to the queen during her lifetime; after Mumtaz Mahal’s death, the emperor ordered to build the most magnificent memorial of the world over the graveyard of his wife. It took 15 long years and hard work of approximately 20,000 masons, artisans and laborers to construct this exquisite beauty; Shah Jahan was also entombed here after his death. Hence throughout the year, folks of lovebirds are seen posing together in front of Taj Mahal to make their love memorable and life lasting. I captured this image in march 2020, just before the pandemic hit this world, This is the most beautiful moment that I have captured till now in my photography journey and I think this picture truly defines the definition of "Taj - The symbol of love".
