It began not with stone, but with love—and ended in heartbreak.

The Taj Mahal, shimmering like a dream in white marble, is far more than a monument. It’s a love letter carved by an emperor into the fabric of time. When Mumtaz Mahal died giving birth to their 14th child, a grief-stricken Shah Jahan poured his sorrow and devotion into creating the most breathtaking mausoleum the world has ever seen, a palace for the dead, built by the living.

But this story is no fairy tale. It’s a tale of power, loss, obsession, and the cruel twists of fate that would see the emperor who built the Taj imprisoned by his own son, left to gaze at his creation from afar, dying with the memory of her name on his lips.

Join Keith on a journey into the heart of Mughal India, as he unveils the grandeur, the secrets, and the tragic beauty behind the world’s greatest symbol of eternal love.
