Majesty and magnificence, unrivalled. Love redefined. The Taj Mahal, the one and only one of its kind across the world. The monumental labour of love of a great ruler for his beloved queen. The ultimate realisation of Emperor Shahjahan's dream. One of the wonders of the world. From 1631 A.D., it took 22 years in the making. An estimated 20,000 people worked to complete the enchanting mausoleum, on the banks of the Yamuna in Agra.</div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/taj+mahal/" rel="tag">taj mahal</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/shahjehan/" rel="tag">shahjehan</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mumtaz+mahal/" rel="tag">mumtaz mahal</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mughal+architecture/" rel="tag">mughal architecture</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/mughals/" rel="tag">mughals</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/india/" rel="tag">india</a></div>http://www.tajmahalindia.net/Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:49:32 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/1EB6F334-F84C-4808-AA99-24EFA74D00D1/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/hitchhiker08/">hitchhiker08</a><br><b>clipper's remarks:</b> The kids mechano sets just got bigger! <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.futurebydesign.org/35f8-d862.cgi?Category==construction" title="http://www.futurebydesign.org/35f8-d862.cgi?Category==construction">www.futurebydesign.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><DIV> automatedBuildingStructues.jpg</DIV></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/hitchhiker08/512/
