Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum complex in Agra, India, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal combines a domed marble tomb, minarets, garden planning, and associated buildings within a symmetrical composition. Carved decoration, stone inlay, and carefully organized views connect the monument's architectural form with its commemorative purpose and riverside setting.
