Question

What is the Taj Mahal story

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{Answer:}$

Mumtaz was Shah Jahan's third and favourite wife and their love story is legendary.

It is generally believed that she was a beautiful and devoted wife who was content to have lots of children with her husband - she died giving birth to their 14th child.

"But there was another side to her that's not well-known - that she was not at all the beautiful-dutiful wife. She was a very good chess player, far better than Shah Jahan, and that she was ambitious and ruthless," says director M Sayeed Alam of the Delhi-based theatre group Pierrot's Troupe.

Historians agree that imperial women in the Mughal period exercised significant political authority.
