The Taj Mahal is on the list of the Seven
Wonders of the Modem World. Historians,
tourists, and students of architecture and
design admire it for two reasons. One is for
its beauty. The other is the love story that led
to its creation.
The Taj Mahal stands on the banks of the
Yamuna
River in Agra, India. Its construction
began in 1631 and it was finished in 1653.
It is an Islamic tomb built of white marble,
which was imported from all over India and
neighboring lands. This ≪Crown Palace≫ is a
monument to love. Shah Jahan was the fifth
Mughal emperor of India. When he was a
fourteen-year-old prince, he fell in love with a
fifteen-year-old Persian princess. Five years
later, she became his third wife. This was in
1612. He called her ≪Mumtaz Mahal≫, which
means ≪Jewel of the Palace≫.
They had a happy marriage. However, she
died giving birth to their fourteenth child.

her husband ordered the
building of the Taj Mahal. This tomb is a
tribute to her. It still stands as an enduring
symbol of their love.
