Why read it?
1 author picked Romance of the Taj Mahal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Published to coincide with an exhibition held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art back in 1989, this book still offers one of the best introductions to the cultural world of the Taj Mahal. Written by the curators at LACMA, the various chapters place the design of the tomb in the wider context of the decorative arts of Mughal India and show how it has also inspired later artists around the world.
From Giles' list on the Taj Mahal.
