# Taj Mahal replicas and derivatives

The Taj Mahal, an iconic structure in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, has inspired numerous replicas and derivatives. It is a major tourist attraction and has been regarded as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Commissioned in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, it was completed in 1653. The monument has inspired many notable replicas including a project started by the emperor's grandson in 1678. While some are intended to be scale models or otherwise to be more or less faithful copies, and others are designed with mild or extreme interpretations of the Taj's architecture adapted to serve other purposes.
