@katiecouric : When I first laid eyes on the Taj Mahal, I was so moved. It took my breath away. (I was surprised by my reaction!) Rudyard Kipling described it as “the embodiment of all things pure” while the poet Tagore called it “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity.” Emperor Shah Jahan built it to honor his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th (!) child in 1631. The entire complex took 22 years to complete and 20,000 people worked on it using semi translucent white marble carved with flowers and inlaid with thousands of semi-precious stones. (Thank you @lonelyplanet😊) Shah Jahan, who supposedly turned gray overnight he was so distraught, said the Taj Mahal made “the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.” He had a sad end to his life (see previous post) but is now buried next to his wife (thanks to his daughter and not that awful son!) Meanwhile, wives one and two are buried nearby in two separate domes. Guess he wasn’t that into them! 😳 Meanwhile, I found out that kissing in public is frowned upon AFTER we took this photo, so I apologize! ( I’m really not into PDA, but what can I say? I told you I was moved!) I will post some more of our TWO visits here but don’t want to overwhelm you all! Meanwhile as I write this, I’m having tea in Jaipur at the most amazing place! I love 🇮🇳! 😘 #bucketlist
