What Design Inspired Taj Mahal? - Woman's Love for Man!

One of the first garden-tomb mausoleums that preceded Taj Mahal was the tomb of the second Mughal Emperor of India - Humayun. And this one was built by the orders of his widow to commemorate her love in contrast to Taj Mahal which was built by the orders of the 5th emperor for his wife.

Quiet an interesting bunch of romantics these Mughal Kings... in fact there were seven of them but I'll save the story of the others for a different post (some of them were cruel...!). This one is about the "Dormitory of the Mughals" and George Bush!
