The Taj Mahal stands as Asia's most beautiful architectural masterpiece and the world's most famous monument to love. This ivory-white marble mausoleum combines Persian, Islamic and Indian architectural styles, built by 20,000 artisans under Iranian architect Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned it in 1632 to house the tomb of his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal, completing the structure after 14 years at tremendous cost. The symmetrical complex features exquisite pietra dura inlays, reflecting pools, and a majestic dome that changes color with daylight. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal offers endless photographic inspiration with its perfect proportions and romantic history.
