Emperor SHAH JAHAN himself described THE TAJ in this words.
- Should guilty seek asylum here, like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
- Should a shinner make his way to his mansion.
- All his past sins are to be washed away.
- The site of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs.
- And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
- In this world this edifice has been made.
- to display thereby the creator's glory.
