The Mystery of theTaj Mahal

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Famed for its singular beauty and stunning architecture, the Taj Mahal-which contains the gem-covered tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the emperor of India's beloved wife who died in childbirth - also honours one of the world's great love stories.
But the building is much more than a magnificent tomb for a dead queen. It is a testament to the almost megalomaniac ambition of the emperor of a brutally cruel regime. Cameras go inside the Taj Mahal to reveal its beauty and uncover its true story, which has lain hidden for almost 400 years. Presented by Dr Kate Spence. See today's choices.
