What this episode covers

On the banks of the Yamuna River, near the old Mughal capital of Agra, stands India’s most celebrated monument. With its white marble dome, cupolas, minarets, and exquisite mosaics, the Taj Mahal has rightly earned its place as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Its fame owes as much to the romance of its origins as it does to the beauty of its architecture.
