Taj Mahal is in fact the most well preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world. ... The Taj Mahal means Crown Palace. It was built in the memory of the beautiful Mumtaz Mahal, who won the heart of a Mughal prince known as Shah Jahan. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble and has stunning architectural beauty that is beyond description, particularly at dawn and sunset.
The architecture of the Taj Mahal is extremely complicated. The Taj Mahal is positioned more than 900 ft. ... The structure is comprised of five main elements which are the Darwaza or main gateway, the Bageecha or the garden, the Masjid or mosque, the Naqqar Khana or rest house, and the Rauza or the Taj Mahal mausoleum which is the actual tomb. The Taj Mahal is entered through the doorway on the south side. ... A white double-dome majestically crowns the Taj Mahal. ...
Despite several disagreements that claim that the Taj Mahal was designed by an Italian Geronimo Veroneo or a French silversmith Austin de Bordeaux, the first real evidence of the architects identity emerged in the 1930s when a seventeenth century manuscript called the Diwan-i-Muhandis was found and mentioned the Taj Mahal. This manuscript contains a collection of several poems written by Luft Allah, including several verses in which he describes his father, Ustad Ahmad from Lahore, as the architect of the Taj Mahal. ... The Taj Mahal cannot be credited to any single person. The architects that were involved in the creation of the Taj Mahal are Abd ul Karim Mamur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmed Lahwari. The Taj Mahal is the culmination of an evolutionary process. ... Many builders participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal.
