Laisser de marbre

Once upon a time, an emperor, desperate by the death of his beloved wife decided to build up a big white marble monument in her memory. It stands today as one of the most famous symbol of India, the Taj Mahal. Later on, he planned to build up a black Taj as well, but got put in jail by his own son in the fort of Agra before he could achieve his black dream. His last request was to get a room, however small or spartiat it would be but having at least a window from where he could admire the Taj. The Taj Mahal sums up an Indian world full of paradoxes. It is a muslim monument in a country largely run by hindouism, it is a monumemt dedicated to love, where 80 % of weddings are all arranged. But what a nice love story behind...
