Shahjahan the fifth Mughal Emperor was into many constructions during his era, he would have been the only emperor who has done so much modification and extension to the Agra Fort.
His most loved wife, the third wife Mumtaz Mahal died during the delivery of their fourteenth child. Shahjahan fell into deep grief and decided to build a monument for her and that was Taj Mahal.
It took 22 years and 22000 workers to complete the Taj Mahal and the chief architect was Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. All of the Marble was sourced from present day Rajasthan. Shahjahan even wanted to built a second Taj Mahal, a black one on the opposite banks of the river Yamuna, but it was not allowed by his son Aurangazeb.

Taj Mahal, one of Seven Wonders of the World is just not known for its pristine beauty but much of its grace lies in the fact that it is a monument dedicated to love. Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal and hence the monument still stands as a pilgrimage for lovers.
Shah Jahan was the son of Mughal emperor Jahangir and grandson of Akbar the Great. At the age of 14, Shah Jahan (then known as Khurram) met Mumtaz Mahal (then known as Arjumand Banu Begum) and fell in love with her. Arjumand Banu Begum was a princess of Persian nobility. Both were married in 1612 and enthralled by the brilliance and beauty of the queen, Shah Jahan bestowed the highest honour of the land and renamed her as Mumtaz Mahal, meaning the Jewel of the Palace, in Persian language. Mumtaz Mahal accompanied Emperor Shah Jahan in every venture, be it wars or hunting campaigns and both were overwhelmingly in love with each other.
Unfortunately Mumtaz Mahal died in 1631 giving birth to their 14th child and the shock depressed the emperor to great extent. The depth of love did not diminish after the demise of the empress and Shah Jahan planned to build an unimaginably precious and exquisite memorial for Mumtaz Mahal. Hence started the construction of Taj Mahal; it took 22 long years, use of 22000 labourers and 1000 elephants to complete the construction of this white beauty.
Taj Mahal is a white marble memorial inscribed with Arabic inscriptions from Quran. The silver entrances, the gold leaved designs, the floral paintings, calligraphy and the motifs narrate the majestic tale of love; artisans, stone cutters, dome builders and painters from the entire country, Iran and Central Asia were gathered by the Emperor to erect the unforgettable edifice for his beloved. Studded with semi-precious stones and located amidst four by four lush green meadows, Taj Mahal is an edifice of eternal beauty.
