TAJ MAHAL: This magnificent monument was declared as one of the “seven wonders of the world” in the year 2007 by UNESCO. Popularly known as "the epitome of love". Shah Jahan the fifth emperor of the Mughal dynasty, got this monument constructed in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. It was embellished by several precious and semi-precious stones. Which were brought to Agra from across the world? However as per the Islamic beliefs, graves aren’t supposed to be decorated, this is the reason the mausoleum of Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal are not decorated.
