    The Taj Mahal was built in India in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had recently died. It took over 20 years and 20,000 workers to construct the graceful white marble mausoleum, which stands on a large white terrace and contains the tombs of Shah Jahan and his wife, and its gleaming white domes and slender minarets are reflected in a nearby pool, surrounded by beautiful gardens.

    The Jewel of India

    TAJ MAHAL
    Back in 1632, Sha Jahan, a kind
    emperor in India, decided to build
    the Taj Mahal as memorial to his
    favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal, who
    had just died.

    Short video clip
    It took more than 20 backbreaking
    years and the labor of 20,000 patient
    workmen to complete the Taj Mahal.
    Sha Jahan was greatly pleased with
    the graceful, large building with
    white marble walls. Taj Mahal, which
    contains the tombs of Sha Jahan and
    his wife, stands on a large, white
    terrace.
    The mausoleum, with gleaming
    white domes and shiny slender
    minarets, is reflected in a nearby
    pool. The beautiful gardens with tall
    green trees surround the building.
    There is no question that this
    majestic mausoleum is a place as
    great as the love of Sha Jahan for
    his wife.
