"This white marble beauty was built between 1631 and 1648 as a tomb for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's deceased wife, who bore him 14 children. The mausoleum is considered the height of Mughal architecture and required the skills of masons, stonecutters, calligraphers, dome-builders, carvers and others." -Forbes.com
