Taj Mahal
1631 Mumtaz Mahal dies during childbirth. Her husband, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan I, then spends more than 20 years building her tomb, the Taj Mahal
> > > Clint’s comment: Such an incredible monument. I have never been. According to AI… “There are roughly 46 to 48 restaurants and 20 takeaways across the UK named "Taj Mahal". It is consistently ranked as one of the most popular names for Indian curry houses nationwide”. We have one in Bexhill-on-Sea, about 5 minutes walk away, and very good it is too.
