Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

Taj Mahal is widely considered is one of the best creations of mankind. An iconic symbol of eternal love, Taj Mahal is an immense mausoleum of white marble, a grandeur of architectural splendor.

Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan between 1631 and 1648 in memory of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Emperor Shah Jahan, one of the world’s most powerful king of the kings that time, was helpless and powerless to prevent his wife from dying while giving birth, and promised the empress at her deathbed that he would build her the most beautiful tomb of mankind. That’s the beginning of the Taj Mahal.

Nearly 20,000 architectures & specialists and 1,000 elephants took almost 20 years to build Taj Mahal. Some of the materials used are translucent white marble, jasper, jade, crystal, turquoise, Lapis lazuli, sapphire, carnelian. In total about 28 different types of precious and semi-precious stones were blend into the white marble.

The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of being the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the most universally recognised and admired masterpieces of the world's heritage
