Taj Mahal is a monument located in Agra, India. It
was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the son of Jahangir,
as a mausoleum for his Persian wife, Arjumand Banu Begum, also known as
Mumtaz-ul-Zamani or Mumtaz Mahal. It took 23 years to complete (1630 -
1653) and is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture.
The architectural complex of the
Taj Mahal covers an area of approximately 580 m × 300 m, comprised of
five main components: the darwaza (gateway), the bageecha (garden)
which is in the form of the typical Mughal charbagh (garden divided
into four parts), the masjid (mosque), the mehmaan khana (guest house),
and finally the mausoleum of Taj Mahal, at the northern end of the
complex.
