"This is the Great Gate. And see, this is the calligraphy," Hrashid said.

"It means, 'O soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you."

All the tourists were blinded by the beauty of the monument that stood right before them.

Especially BTS.

"The Taj Mahal, meaning ' The Crown of the Palace' is an ivory white marble mausoleum," read Joonie, "It is located in the south bank of the Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. It has been one of the Wonders of the World."

"Is that all written in Wikipedia?"
Jimin asked curiously.

"No definitely not, but all that is written in Wikipedia is not enough to realise the beauty of this monument," Hrashid said to which the girls agreed.

"But that's so beautiful, like, such a beautiful tomb out of love?" Yoongi was amazed.

"It's really impressive!" Hobi exclaimed.

"Actually every tourist here says that they can stare at it all-day!" Meg added.

"Hyung," Jungkook said to Jin, "there's finally something to compete against you in terms of beauty...!"

"And am afraid....WIN!" Jin added followed by a huge squeal of laughter from all the youngsters present there.

"This is the main octangle. If you move further down, you'll reach an isolated compartment where lies the grave of Mumtaz Mahal."

Da and Di's family members had all followed Hrashid down to the basement where tourists weren't generally allowed. Hrashid sure was a great guide as he had taken all necessary permissions to explore the true epitome of love.

"Are we allowed further down?" Tae asked.
"Perhaps no," Shekhar Chacha said and turned towards Hrashid.

"Ya. No one is allowed further further down other than government officials and people who look after this place."

On reaching the main building, everyone started talking about the beautiful asset India is proud to own, the Taj.

"This tour sure wasn't a bad idea Anushka!"

"We had so much fun!"

"We got to know a lot of all this country possesses!"

"Just think, it's just Delhi. Just one of the thousands of cities in India. Imagine what all we can see if we tour this whole country!!"
