The Taj Mahalbuilt by Emperor Shah Jahan
1632-1653 AD.
Considered the most beautiful building in the world, the Taj is the epitome of Mughal architecture in India. Having suddenly lost his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan decided to build a tomb for her. She had died at Burhanpur, her body was carried to Agra and buried in what is now the gardens of the Taj.
The Taj was designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri and was constructed between 1632-1653 AD. Although partly inspired by Humayun's tomb, Shah Jahan did not follow the Char Bagh design of the Persian gardens. Instead, he had the tomb pushed to the end of a long rectangular. The tomb is spectacularly placed against the sky. The perfect proportions of the building, the pure white marble, the simplicity of the design, its harmonious patterns of arches and windows, its reflections of the sky transform this building into a poetry in marble. It not only symbolises the purity of love, but also depicts the transformation of human love into a divine faith
