Listed in the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal has taught the art of eternal love to mankind. Today this pristine monument attracts a lot of travelers from all the corners of the world. Some have fascination towards its beauty; some are taken aback by the history behind it while archaeologists come here to study its architecture.
In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire’s period of greatest prosperity, was grief-stricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their 14th child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal. The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later. Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj in these words.
