  1. The distraught Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned the mausoleum upon the death of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Today it is one of the most famous and recognisable buildings in the world and while the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is an extensive complex of buildings and gardens that extends over 22.44 Hectares[a] and includes subsidiary tombs, waterworks infrastructure, the small town of 'Taj Ganji' and a 'moonlight garden' to the north of the river. Construction began in 1632 CE, (1041 AH), on the south bank of the River Yamuna in Agra, India and was completed in 1648 CE (1058 AH). The design was conceived as both an earthly replica of the house of Mumtaz in paradise and an instrument of propaganda for the emperor.


  2. the mausoleum itself was essentially complete by 1643, but work continued on the rest of the complex.

  3. ..The Taj Mahal

    The most beautiful building in the world. In 1631 the emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaz, who died in childbirth. The white marble mausoleum at Agra has become the monument of a man's love for a woman and it was completed in 1653...!!

  4. 1631  

  5. taj mahal was built in 1630 and got completed on 1653

  6. White Taj Mahal(Domed marble) plan and construction started in earlier years of 17th century at the banks of river Yamuna in Agra...Declared completion on 1648.

    It was constructed at the orders of Mugal ruler Shah Jahan as memorial of his wife Mumtaz begum.

    Plans and work of second TajMahal(Black marble) on the opposite side of bank were initiated and later work came to still due to Aurangazeb. On can see remnants of this today, even in Google Maps...just cross the River Bank...
