The Taj Mahal is a marble
mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by emperor Shah
Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.There is a lot
of stories and history behind the architect of the Taj Mahal. “The Taj Mahal,
the magnificent monument that stands at the heart of India has a story that has
been melting the hearts of millions of listeners since the time it has been
visible.” The Taj Mahal is what it is today, because of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz
Mahal. Their love story was inspiration for the building of The Taj Mahal.“The Taj Mahal immortalizes one man's love for his wife and
the splendor of an era.” According to National Geographic, the taj mahal is
considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever created http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/world-heritage/taj-mahal/,
which I agree to, 110 percent. Not only is the building itself beautiful, the
story and history that go along with it as well.
This video tells of the history behind The Taj Mahal. And
how the love that Shah Jahan had for his wife helped create one of the most
beautiful buildings in the world. It was said to take 22 years and 22,000
people to build this wonderful building.
