Taj Mahal

The mausoleum built by Shah Jahan at Agra for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, begun in 1632 and completed in 1654 according to Brookes, standing at the river edge of its garden above the Yamuna. The Encyclopaedia of Islam calls it the grandest of the Mughal dynastic mausoleums, a brick structure faced in inlaid white marble, and reports the main tomb finished in 1638-1639 and the whole complex in 1643.
