The building of the Taj Mahal was ordered by Moghul ruler Shah Jahan to commemorate the memory of his late favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The project required the labor of over 22,000 workers, including many fine artists and architects. It was begun in 1632, and completion of the entire complex took about 22 years.
