The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located on the southern bank of the Yamuna River in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of one of his three wives. It is a very popular tourist destination and sees millions of visitors every year.
Princess Diana visited the Taj Mahal and had a photo taken outside the front of it sat on a bench. This has now become a popular spot for tourists to have a photo taken, often posing in the same position as she did.
Although it was built in 1632, further extensions of the project meant that it was not completed finished for ten years. The interior of the Taj Mahal is unlike any normal building, the money, time and resources put in to making the Taj were immense and it still requires a lot of ongoing work to keep it in a pristine condition.
