The People. The Villages.

Spend time with them Ayesha. Your photos will take care of themselves.

"Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory."

- His Imperial Majesty Al-Sultan al-'Azam wal Khaqan al-Mukarram, Malik-ul-Sultanat, Ala Hazrat Abu'l-Muzaffar Shahab ud-din Muhammad Shah Jahan I, Sahib-i-Qiran-i-Sani, Padshah Ghazi Zillu'llah, Firdaus-Ashiyani, Shahanshah-E-Sultanant Ul Hindiya Wal Mughaliya, Emperor of India, a.k.a Shah Jahan.

Beautiful Doug. This dude really loved his wife.
That building is the testament to his love.

I was wondering whatever happened to all those titles of his.
He lies unmarked, forgotten in some rarely known and much less visited place.


Kindest regards.

p.s his vision deteriorated rapidly during the later years of his imprisonment.
It became impossible for him to see the Taj, from where I posted the first photo by Ayesha.
His daughter would sit next to him and describe how the building
looked at different times of the day.
