Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan (grandson of Akbar the great) in 1648, in the memory of his wife Arjumand Bano Begum, entitled ‘Mumtaz Mahal’. The massive Mahal was built with marbles. Taj mahal is located in the bank of the River Yumuna in Agra City.
Shajahan’s wife died in 1631 and after 6months, he started constructing the Taj Mahal. It took 17 years to complete the Mahal. Now it is one of the 7 wonders of the world.
