Question

Answer 1

The Tāj Mahal is a monument located in Agra, India, at 27° 10'28.67"N, 78° 2'32.05"E, constructed between 1631 and 1654 by a workforce of 22,000. The Mughal Emperor Shāh Jahān commissioned its construction as a mausoleum for his favourite wife, Arjumand Bano Begum, who is better known as Mumtāz. The Taj Mahal (sometimes called "the Taj") is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Indian and Islamic. The Taj Mahal has achieved special note because of the romance of its inspiration. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures.-

TAJMAHAL WAS BUILT-

Building the TAJ MAHAL commenced about 1632. More than 20,000 workers were employed from India, Persia, the Ottoman Empire, and Europe to complete the mausoleum itself by about 1638-39; the adjunct buildings were finished by 1643, and decoration work continued until at least 1647. Construction of the 42-acre (17-hectare) complex spanned 22 years at a cost between four and five million rupees.---Refer Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Answer 2

I guess we do not know who Professor Oak is? But we sure do know about the Mughal King Shahjahan. And our school history text books mentions that Taj Mahal was built by Shahjahan, who had employed thousands and thousands of workers to build the Mahal. And the Mahal was built in the loving memory of his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. History mentions that the king cut the hands of all the workers after the Mahal was built because he did not want them to build another like the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal is located in Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Taj Mahal has been used as a backdrop and shooting location in many Indian movies.

Answer 3

Taj Mahalt was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a campaign to crush a rebellion after giving birth to their 14th child. The death so crushed the emperor that all his hair and beard were said to have grown snow white in a few months.


When Mumtaz Mahal was alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants to transport it to the site. It was designed by the Iranian architect Ustad Isa and it is best appreciated when the architecture and its adornments are linked to the passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal love".
