\n
\n

Which is India's most popular monument?<\/p>\n

But, Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the most popular monument in India and the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal hosts a staggering number of approximately 7\u20138 million visitors a year. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Did Shah Jahan order the hands of workers to be chopped off who worked on Taj Mahal?<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t It took a mammoth 22 years for a wonder like Taj Mahal to be completed. There has been a long running rumour that after the construction was completed, Shah Jahan ordered the hands of workers to be chopped off so that such a wonder could never be replicated. But there are no historical records to prove this. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

What was the reason for Akbar to build Fatehpur Sikri?<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFatehpur Sikri, a city predominantly put up in red sandstone and situated at a fair distance of 37 kms from Agra, was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. He commissioned the construction and development of this city in honour of the great Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chisti. The magnificence and uniqueness of this city offers a fine example of the emperor's architectural knowledge. Adding to that, he had also planned this city as his capital, but the water shortage left him no option but to abandon the city. After this fiasco, within 20 years, the capital of the Mughals was shifted to Lahore. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
