Reference Information. - The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum with a mosque on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage“. - The Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan, the builder. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. - The Taj Mahal complex is bordered on three sides by crenellated red sandstone walls; the side facing the river is open. At the far end of the complex are two grand red sandstone buildings that mirror each other, and face the sides of the tomb. The western building is a mosque and the other is the jawab (answer), thought to have been constructed for architectural balance although it may have been used as a guesthouse.
