The popular view of the Taj Mahal as one of the world's monuments to a great "love story" is borne out by the contemporary accounts and most scholars accept this has a strong basis in fact.[34][35] The building was also used to assert Jahani propaganda concerning the 'perfection' of the Mughal leadership. The extent to which the Taj uses propaganda is the subject of some debate amongst contemporary scholars. This period of Mughal architecture best exemplifies the maturity of a style that had synthesised Islamic architecture with its indigenous counterparts. By the time the Mughals built the Taj, though proud of their Persian and Timurid roots, they had come to see themselves as Indian. Copplestone writes "Although it is certainly a native Indian production, its architectural success rests on its fundamentally Persian sense of intelligible and undisturbed proportions, applied to clean uncomplicated surfaces."[36]

The Taj Mahal was built by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his 3rd wife Mumtaz Mahal. He loved his wife so much that when she died he decided the only way to show off his love to her is to build a monument that will stand the test of time. It took 22 years to complete the monument. It would be no exaggeration to say that the Taj Mahal is the most popular tourist destination in India, with as many as 4 million people visiting the structure every year.
Built between 1632 and 1653, the Taj Mahal is a mausoleum situated on the bank of the Yamuna River. It is surrounded by large gardens that form a green patch around the monument. Emperor Shah Jahan built it in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, his favourite wife who died giving birth to their 14th child. Mumtaz was not just a great love of Shah Jahan but also his adviser. 2ff7e9595c
