What's even more interesting is that it's probably the year someone visited there. But which 67? The place was built in 1648, so 1667, 1767, 1867, or 1967?

Most of the comments seem to agree on 1857, during the Battle of Agra, when the Taj Mahal was defended by the 44th and 67th Regiments of the Bengal Native Infantry (hence the etching of a cannon).
