Wallpaper Taj Mahal Biography
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum - or tomb and monument - built in the mid-17th Century in Agra, India.
It was built for the ruler of the Mughal Empire in memory of his favorite wife
This beautiful building is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the world.
The Taj Mahal is decorated with 28 different varieties of precious and semi-precious stones.
1,000 elephants and 22,000 workers were used in its construction, which took over 20 years!
The Taj Mahal was built entirely out of white marble, which was brought in from all over India and Asia.
It is said that the Emperor was so heartbroken when his wife died that he ordered his court to go into mourning for two years.
In the 17th century, most of the country we now know as India was ruled by the Mughals, an Islamic people who were extremely powerful in the area for over 300 years.
The Taj Mahal was built because of a love story! In 1607, Prince Khurrum of the Mughals, at the age of 14, fell in love with a 15 year girl and became engaged. The couple had to wait 5 years for their wedding day, but then had a long and very happy marriage. Prince Khurrum became Emperor in 1628 and was then known as Shah Jahan ("King of the World"), and his wife was known as Mumtaz Mahal ("Beloved Ornament of the Palace").
In 1631, Mumtaz Mahal died while giving birth to their 14th child. The grief-stricken Emperor ordered that a beautiful memorial to his wife should be built.
