The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, as the mausoleum of his beloved Queen Mumtaz Mahal, after her death in 1631. The Taj Mahal is recognized worldwide as a symbol of eternal love. Built of white marble and surrounded by green gardens, the Taj Mahal is a breathtakingly beautiful sight. The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO world Heritage site and is considered one of the wonders of the world and the supreme example of Mughal architecture in India.
