"Kingly power is like a cruel bolt of thunder,
Let that fade away like the blood-red sky at dusk,
Let just one eternal sigh remain like sadness in the sky
Wasn't that all you'd ever asked for?
The glittering jewels cast their spell like an eternal magical mystery.
But even if that does vanish,
Let just one tear drop roll down the cheeks of Time;
The pure light of Taj Mahal."
(Rabindranath Tagore - Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist. Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861–1941)

Endless passion, everlasting love, eternal sigh...the Taj Mahal should remain forever the essence of perfection...
However there is a threat over this image of Heaven as it could collapse within four years because wooden foundations are rotting.

Nowadays it is almost impossible to take this picture anymore as the army doesn't allow to go to this side of the Yamuna river.
