Sparks jump-started their week with a trip to India and got to see the amazing Taj Mahal! Sparks discussed what they liked about this World Wonder. It is a beautifully designed palace that was built in 1648 AD during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife; Mumtaz Mahal. Sparks were amazed at how big, white, shiny, and beautiful the palace was despite how old it is.
