Taj Mahal
• The Taj Mahal stands on a square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The Taj Mahal was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers.
• The Taj Mahal costed 32 Million Rupees. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.
• Shah Jahan wanted to make the Taj Mahal his wife, Mumtaz Mahal—for a decade. The builders faced the challenge to make everything semetrical. They overcame this challenge by planning exact and percise.
• The Taj Mahal was built in Agra India. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.
