The Taj Mahal, an immense mausoleum of white marble built in Agra between 1632 and 1648 by the order of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, is the jewel of India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. It without doubt partially owes its renown to the moving circumstances of its construction. Shah Jahan, in order to perpetuate the memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631, had this funerary mosque built.
The construction of the monument was led by the architect of the emperor, Ahmad Lahori.; unverified but nonetheless, tenacious, legends attribute its construction to an international team of several thousands of masons, marble workers, mosaicists, and decorators working under the orders of Ahmad Lahori. The color combination of lush green scape reddish pathway and blue sky over it showcases the monument in ever changing tints and moods. The relief work in marble and inlay with precious and semi precious stones make it a monument apart.
