for his wife Mumtaz.
Was the maximum beautiful woman in the world.
So, when she died, the emperor decided to build this...
five-star hotel...
for everyone who'd like to visit her too.
But he died in 1587,
before any ofthe rooms were built or any ofthe lifts.
But the swimming pool, as you can see,
was completed on schedule, in top-class fashion.

The guidebook was written by a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing Indian beggars.
Oh. [ Indistinct ]
