Globally admired masterpiece mausoleum of white marble, Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal, and was completed in 1648 after 17 years utilising about 20,000 laborers and 1,000 elephants.

It appears in several listings of seven wonders of the modern world.
