the TAJ MAHAL of Agra" (A.D. 1630-53)
It was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Exalted of the Palace and Mumtaz-ul-Zamani, the Exalted of the Age. But she sadly (but perhaps not surprisingly) died in childbirth at the age of 39, after presenting him with fourteen children, of whom only four sons and three daughters survived. Shah Jahan was inconsolable and decided to erect a memorial to his queen in pristine marble that the world would never forget. - Sally on Tour
