Original Toronto Star caption: The Taj Mahal; long regarded as perhaps the most perfect piece of architecture in the world; is India's most famous monument. Built between 1636 and 1958 of white marble and semi-precious stones that sparkle in the light of both the sun and the moon; this symmertrical mausoleum is also regarded as the world's best known monument to love. It is; of course; included on almost every tour of the sub-continent.
