The Taj Mahal is a breathtaking white marble mausoleum on the Yamuna River, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Inside, intricate inlay work with semi-precious stones adorns the cenotaphs, while the surrounding gardens and reflecting pool complete this timeless symbol of love.
