The Tajmahal - Located in Agra City, Uttar Pradesh, India The Taj Mahal was created by the Mughal emperor Shahjaha in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaaz. It is created in the shape of a crown therefore it was named "Crown Fort" i.e. Taj Mahal in Urdu. Mumtaaz, the queen of Shahjaha was buried under the Tajmahal. The fort of Shahjaha is also located near Agra city at Fatehpur Sikri. Later the Mughal emperors were moved to Delhi because of lack of water in the Agra city. It is said that the emperor Shahjaha ordered to cut off the hands of all the architects and labor who created the Tajmahal as a precaution so that they could never built any copy of the fascinating Tajmahal. Tajmahal is made of the rare white marble stone called "Sung-murmur" on the bank of Yamuna river. Just facing Tajmahal, there is a mosque the emperor used to worship Allah for the good of the spirit of her wife queen Mumtaaz. In India and throughout the world, the Tajmahal is known as the symbol of eternal love. People in India who love, gift small models of the Tajmahal to their beloved one.
