The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628â1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”. The tomb is the most popular tourist destination in India, attracting about 8 million visitors a year.
The Taj Mahal is built of white marble, which was quarried from Makrana, Rajasthan, and transported to Agra by river. The marble was then carved into intricate patterns and inlaid with semi-precious stones such as jasper, agate, and lapis lazuli.
The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
