|Abstract: |
|Taj Mahal (täzh məhäl′, täj məhŭl′), mausoleum, Agra, Uttar Pradesh state, N India, on the Yamuna River. It is considered one of the most |
|beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian Islamic architecture. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan |
|ordered it built after the death (1631) of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was |
|designed by the local Muslim architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori; set in its carefully laid out grounds, it is a reflection of the gardens of |
|Paradise to which the faithful ascend. The entire complex, with gardens, gateway structures, and mosque, was completed in 1648. [ABSTRACT FROM|

|Why is the article relevant to your essay? |
| |
|I believe that this article will be relevant to my essay because it states some of the facts about the Taj Mahal. It talks about who had it |
|built, who it was built for and why it was built. The article also talks about the dimensions of the building as well as the land where it is |
|located. |
|I feel that the article will help me when I start my essay by helping me know some of the basic information and history of the Taj Mahal. The |
|article also tells me when the building was built and who it was designed by. |
