The Taj Mahal is considered to be the most beautiful building of Muslim architecture in India. The large mausoleum was built by the fifth Grand Mogul Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, the Persian Princess Arjuman Bano Begum, also known as Mumtaz Mahal. She had a very great influence on his life and his policies and died in 1631 giving birth to the fourteenth child at the age of 39. On her deathbed, she wished her husband a tomb like the world had never seen before. Then the Grand Mogul had the Taj Mahal erected, which seems to have sprung from a fairy tale or dream.
