Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders in the world, located in Agra, India. It was build by emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died in childbirth. Taj Mahal took approximately 20-22 years and 20,000 workers to complete. It was totally complete in 1653, so it is also one of the oldest buildings in the world. It is covered by pure white marble and the walls of the "Taj Mahal" were decorated by expensive diamonds and gems. It is believed that all the precious things such as expensive stones and diamonds were stolen from Taj Mahal by Britishers. When Britishers took the power over India, then Taj Mahal went through some damages and Britishers stole most of the precious stones from its walls.
