Taj Mahal, the jewel
of Muslim art in India, is known as one of eight wonders on the planet. According to some western historians, Taj
Mahal is the most beautiful building in the entire world. This stunning architectural beauty was built
by the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan commemorating his third wife Mumtaz. Taj Mahal was built using white marble
only. It is located in Agra, Uttar
Pradesh, India. In 1983, it was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The construction work of Taj Mahal was
started in 1632 and ended in 1653. It
cost about 32 million Rupees and used thousands of artists and craftsman to
build this magnificent beauty.
