WHAT IS THE TAJ MAHAL?History of Taj Mahal
Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632 after the untimely death of Mumtaz Mahal, the most beloved wife of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. She died giving birth to their 14th child and it is fabled that her heartbroken husband went grey-haired overnight such was the strength of his grief.
The Taj is effectively a mausoleum, a sacred place where Mumtaz Mahal’s body was entombed. It is a monument that was created with love, grief and the remembrance of beauty at its heart.
The awe-inspiring main building and huge garden were completed in 1648 and the guest house, southern guest house, courtyards and mosque added later and finished by 1653.
The bereaved Emperor searched the entire Mughal empire, Iran and Central Asia to find the finest craftsmen, artisans and builders for his project and an architect called Ustad-Ahmad Lahori was in charge.
Lahori’s brief was to reflect Mumtaz Mahal’s beauty with opulence, a grand design and the Emperor needed to see the Mausoleum from his Palace. The Taj Mahal is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World so a much-loved wife, whose name meant ‘Jewel of the Palace, has truly been remembered.
