Yes, in fact there was a plan to develop a mirror image of the Taj Mahal in black marble, however, this was canceled when his sons began to fight over the Kingdom and eventually one son succeeded in taking over and jailed his father in the Red Fort. This and his subsequent death after a few years meant that the Black Taj Mahal would never be built in time. Hence, why he has such an awkward sized and shaped grave next to his wife because of his untimely death.
Nice to hear that Neatorama is going to bigger and better servers. Should help since it looks like a ton of folks are stopping by! :)
Sweet Mumra in a half! The horror if the Taj Mahal should ever look like that! ;)
Well, I can now sit on it.
