Construction
Of Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal was built by a muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan(died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India.

The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. The queen’s real name Arjumand Banu. In the tradition of the Mughal’s, important ladies of the royal family were given another name at their marriage or at some other significant event in their lives, and that new name was commonly used by the public. Shah Jahan’s real was Shahab-ud-din, and he was known as Prince Khurram before ascending to the throne in 1628.

workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 million rupees. The construction
documents show that it’s master architect was Ustad ‘Isa, the renowned islamic
architect of his time. The documents contain names of those employed and the
inventory of construction materials and the origin. Expert craftsmen from
Delhi, Qannauj, Lahore, and Multan were employed. In addition, many renowned
Muslim craftsman from Baghdad, Shiraz and Bukhara worked on many specialized
tasks.
The minarets have an octagonal
base and cylindrical body tapering to an eight-sided open pavilion. The body of
the minarets is sectioned by three balconies which create shadows and
interesting an otherwise plain design. An exquisite band of marble inlay. And
geometric patterns sporting the chevron design encircle the minaret below the
top balcony. The summit of the gold gilded finial perched on the top of the
dome of the Taj Mahal reaches two hundred and twenty feet(67 meters) above the
