The majestic white building of Agra called Taj Mahal is well known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This marble mausoleum is located on the bank of River Yamuna in Agra. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in order to house his favorite wife’s tomb built this amazing structure. 


Mumtaz Mahal was a Persian princess and her name was Arjumand Banu Begum before marriage, who became the third and most favorite wife of Shah Jahan. The queen died while giving birth to their 14th child.
