Taj Mahal was built by the Emperor Shahjahan as a memorial to his beloved Arjumand Bano Begum entitled as Mumtaz Mahal. It looks same from all the four sides. Quranic inscriptions on its four entrance are carved in such subtle increase in size that words appear to be of the same size from top to bottom. Shahjahan invited master craftsmen from places like Italy and Persia to design his ambitious tribute to love. The Taj Mahal is phenomenal not alone in the beauty that shines forth, but in the deep planning and design that went into its making and the ethereal idea of immortalizing love. Construction of this enchanting mausoleum, on the bank of river Yamuna started in 1631 and it took approximately 22 years to complete the entire monuments with the help of an estimated 20000 workers.
