Images Taj Mahal Biography

As many of people wonder where is Taj Mahal? The answer is Agra city of the North Indian state Uttar Pradesh. It can be reached by road, rail or air transport. The transportation facility is superb and therefore one can reach Agra from any part of the country.
It was built by the grandson of Akbar -The Great, Shah Jahan (1628-1658) in the loving memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal. When Prince Khurram (Shah Jahan) met Arjumand Banu Begum (Mumtaz Mahal), he fell in love with her at the very first sight. Five years down the lane in 1612 he married this Muslim Persian princess and was deeply in love with her. They both shared every moment of their life together and were regarded as inseparable companions until the time when she died giving birth to their 14th child in the year 1631.
Grief stricken by this loss, Shan Jahan decided to build world’s most beautiful monument to pay tribute to his wife. In 1632 the construction of Taj Mahal began and till 1648 only the principal mausoleum was done as it took other five years to complete the surrounding gardens and buildings. However, the date of its completion has always been a topic for debate. 22,000 laborers and 1,000 elephants were involved in the making up of this architectural wonder that is built completely of white marble.
Soon after its completion, Aurangzeb (Shah Jahan’s son) imprisoned his father in the Agra Fort from where he used to look out at his creation through a window. After his death in the year 1666, he was buried in Taj Mahal next to Mumtaz Mahal.
