You went past my Fathers birth place, "Hodal" near New Delhi.Taj Mahal was built bt the Shah Jehan, as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal (she had died before he had it built) The story goes, that he was able to look at the Taj from his Red palace, but he couldnt bare to look at it directly so had a large ruby set in the wall so he could look at the reflection therein. It is situated in the City of Agra on the bank of the Ganges River.I know this information, as I did a show and tell in about grade 6, a long long time ago. The information was in a set of encylopedia that Dad brought from India circa 1946
I still plan to get this written ... Will try to do before I go back in June as a ride leader :-)Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
