The other Taj Mahal

A long time back, there lived a Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. All of us of course, know this story. Few however, know the little known saga of the other Shah Jahan -- Begum Shah Jahan – the Begum of Bhopal and her Taj Mahal. It’s a tale that has for long, been covered under the cob-webs of time, although Begum Shah Jahan, like her Mughal namesake, was a great patron of architecture and the ruins of her Taj Mahal – the magnificent palace that she built in Bhopal on the banks of a lake — even now, tell silent tales of the grandeur of her times.
