Actually there are two buildings named the Taj Mahal.
The most famous and most important is the Taj Mahal in Agra in the Mugal Empire in the Nation of India. It was built by the Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his second wife, Arjumand Banu who later became known as Mumtaz Mahal. Mumtaz and Shah had 14 children together and Mumtaz died in childbirth to their last child. He promised her that he would build the Taj for her no matter what and he did. The Taj Majal was built between 1631 and 1654. Approximately 20,000 workmen helped completed it to its greatness today.
The second "Taj Mahal" is the "Trump Taj Mahal", a casino run by the famous (imfamous) Donald Trump, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The "Trump Taj Mahal" looks nothing like the marvel in India. The "Trump Taj Mahal" has over 1000 rooms and suites and is located on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
