The jewel encrusted Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century by emperor Shah Jahan to commemorate his love for his wife who died in childbirth in 1631. The Taj is only the beginning. Ancient temples, caves, forts, palaces... entire cities stand testament to different streams of influence through the ages. Many from before the birth of Christ & some from just a decade ago like the lotus inspired Bahai temple in New Delhi. The temples in Khajuraho & Konark are renowned for the eroticism of stone carvings. Goa has the largest Cathedral in Asia built in Portugese times. The Victoria Memorial in Calcutta, the great Shore temple near Madras... the list is endless!
