The Taj Mahal is not only a palace, but a mausoleum built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
A masterpiece of Mughal architecture, the Taj Mahal combines elements of Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Indian architectural styles.
The white marble structure is set against beautifully manicured gardens, reflecting pools, and minarets, and is one of the most iconic symbols of love in the world.
