The story of the construction of the Taj  Mahal is one of the most beautiful love stories in the world. Shah Jahan met Mumtaz Mahal and fell in love when he was very young, but five years later they were married in 1612. They were very happy together. He gave her the name Mumtaz Mahal, which means “Jewel of the Palace.”

However, Mumtaz Mahal died from complications while giving birth to their fourteenth child. Shah Jahan was heartbroken even though the end of a very successful military campaign was drawing near. He ordered the court into mourning for two whole years.

Soon after her death, he began the construction of the Taj Mahal to remember her by. The construction took 22 years and over 22,000 workers. This beautiful building is said to be Mumtaz Mahal’s last wish. Today, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and one of the most popular vacation sites in the world.
