1/7 Wonders of the World!

India is home to one of the seven wonders of the world, known as the Taj Mahal.  The Taj Mahal was built  by a Moghul emperor named Shah Jahan in 1648 to honour the memory of his "favourite", yet deceased wife named Mumtaz Begum who died after the delivery of her 14th child. The monument acts as a tomb where the empress and emperor now lay to rest. The Taj Mahal is visited by 15 million Indian citizens and 3 millions foreign tourists each year.
