Known as one of the best known structures in the world, Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz after her death.
Built in white marble, the Taj Mahal took twenty two years for its construction from 1632 to 1653.
While the architecture of Taj Mahal depicts a combination of Indian, Persian and Islamic styles of architecture, it took around 22,000 people to build this remarkable building.
With the construction cost of around 32 million rupees at that time, Taj Mahal was constructed using the best quality marble from Rajasthan, Tibet, Afghanistan and China.
