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