About the taj Mahal

Hellow friend today we will know about the taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located on the southern bank of the yamuna River in the indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the mughal emperorshah Jahan ( reigned 1628 - 1658) to house the tomb of his favorite wife of three, Mumtaz Mahal.

Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other phases of the project for an additional ten years. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million indian rupees, which in 2015 would be valued at around 52.8 billion indian rupees ($827 million us). The construction project employed around 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of  architects led by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The domed marble tomb is part of an integrated complex consisting of gradens and two red - sandstone buildings surrounded by a crenellated wall on three sides.

(Inspiration)
In 1631, shah jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was grif-stricken when his favorite of three wives and beloved companion, Mumtaz Mahal, a persian princess, died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj mahal began in 1632. The court chronicles of shah jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj mahal. The principal mausoleum was completed in 1643 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished about five years later.
so this is all about the taj mahal so thanks for reading.
