Statement of his love? No, this guy was nuts. 20 years, 20,000 workers all for a grave for his dead wife. My favorite story is that the King who started this whole thing tried to then build ANOTHER mausoleum across the river for himself (this one would be black). He never got to finish it: his son imprisoned him in order to take the throne.
More fun than seeing the Taj itself is watching all of the tourists who have come to see it and take the perfect symmetrical photo.
