The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century to fulfill a promise to his wife as she lay dying. Her white marble mausoleum sits in the magnificent Chahar Bagh, or Gardens of Paradise, flanked by a mosque to the west and guesthouse to the east, both of red sandstone.
