The story of the Taj Mahal is an emotional ride for even the critics of love. Tissues might come in handy. The Mughal Empire was flourishing in India during the 17th century. Prince Khurram, later to be famously known as Shah Jahan, roamed the streets of Delhi along with the courtiers. He reached Meena bazaar, a street bustling with trade and people, the place was a personification of chaos.
The Prince could have been startled by the noise of the street which contradicts the serenity of the palace. He saw his destiny stand in the distance, a girl in her teens soft in her actions, sharp and focused eyes with innocence still lingering in it and her fingers gliding over the glass beads as the fish swims across the tender waters. It was Mumtaz Mahal, thus began the epic love story. They both got married in the year 1607. Mumtaz died in the year 1631 due to certain complication which arose during the birth of their 14th child. Taj Mahal is an ode to love and a homage to Shah Jahan’s loved one. It consumed 22 years to erect this epitome of love.
Love 400 years back was quite different, the eyes spoke more than words. The love of Shah Jahan lies in despair of not being to spend more time with his wife. Newly married couples do visit this place in large numbers. Before you are hit with absurdities and complexities of modern life, do submerge yourself in the blissful world of love in Agra.
Life is short not because of time constraints but the ignorance we display towards our near and dear ones. The clock keeps reminding us of the temporary nature of all the material achievements you have accumulated in this life. So spend your honeymoon in Agra, stand in front of the Taj Mahal, hold your loved one’s hand tightly and promise that you will never let him or her go. It is the memories which are eternal and Agra is the place where you can create memories of a lifetime.
