The Taj Mahal is a white tomb built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, in memory of his wife,
Mumtaz Mahal.
She was his third wife. Eventually, Shah Jahan was entombed in the Taj Mahal with his wife.
The building is in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
Widely thought as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, it is one of India's biggest tourist attractions.
This Place was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Agra Fort and 2.5 kilometers away.
It was listed as one of the 7 Wonders of the World in 2007.
The Taj Mahal was constructed with materials from all over the world, and over 20,000 people were used to move building materials.
It is generally thought that Ustad Ahmad Lahauri was in charge of the construction.
The World heritage was built in 1653.
The Taj Mahal had 2 million visitors in 2001 and in 2014-2017 there are more than 7-8 million visitors.
