Taj Mahal is a symbol of eternal love and love, a pious, even after the death of two lovers who loved each other more than God Almighty. Taj Mahal was the inspiration for those who have a genuine love of art, human emotions, as for painters, poets, writers and musicians who seek to express human emotions in the form of images, of words, poetry and songs.

The beautiful structure was built in Agra in Uttar Pradesh. colossal architecture, is located on the banks of the river Yamuna and has a great view on her back, giving a starry background to it. Taj Mahal was built in memory of the beautiful wife of Mughal prince, his name was Arjuman Bano Begum. Prince Khurram (who was the third son of Mughal Emperor Jahangir) and his wife loved each other so they were never separated, even if the war lasted the Duke, lived together.

Prince becomes a king, after a few years, changed its name and was called "Shahjahan", which means "Lord / King of the world." Shahjanan then honored his wife Bano Arjuman the name of "Mumtaz Mahal. The king and queen as they still love each other, with the queen and king Shah Jahan in every campaign he has, even when she was pregnant. Ok In 1631, when Mumtaz Mahal was during pregnancy, she accompanied the king, when he began his campaign to win the southern states of India. Mumtaz Mahal, who was born about fourteen children (only four male and three female children survived), died in childbirth at Burhanpur, in the age of 39 years.

Some say that the king was so devastated, very sad that he was locked in a room in memory of his lovely wife. Some stories Shahajahan also banned music, festivals and all kinds of parts of two years of his regime. No matter how he tried, but I never forget Shahjahan and his wife decided to build a monument in memory of his beloved wife. He wanted to build a huge, beautiful monument, made entirely of marble, which is only one of its kinds in the world.

Shahajahan chose the garden on the banks of river Yamuna for the building. The reason for choosing this place was that there were no other structures that can trump the beauty and uniqueness of the structure he wanted to build. It was not the only reason the place was chosen for the monument, but the place was clearly visible from the palace of King Shahajahan in the Agra Fort. Shahajahan blessed with four great havelis v wanted to build a memorial garden, the king of Amber, who was in the garden.

The construction of the monument began in 1633. The monument has been so enormous that 20,000 employees worked more than 17 years of construction.

It is said that the tombs of Humayun and Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khan (New Delhi) has inspired the design and construction of the monument Taj Mahal in a certain extent.
