Among his many other wives, he loved Mumtaz the most. She gives him fourteen children and died during the delivery of the 14th children Gauhar Ara Begum.
Shah Jahan becomes so sad that he mourns for years and folk-tale says his hair turned grey too. Shah Jahan decided to build the most magnificent marvel mausoleum world has ever seen. Architecture from around the world is gathered for its design and Turkey Ustad Ahmad (a.k.a Isa Khan) become the most credited one.
Main Architecture

The construction started in 1632 A.D and ended in 1648 A.D. The four minarets of the Taj are slightly outward so that in case of collapse they will fall outward.
