The Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan is better known as the man who built the Taj Mahal. Although, it may be more accurate to say that the Taj Mahal was his idea. The story of the Taj Mahal is considered one of the most romantic stories in history. Shah Jahan had the palace built to commemorate his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal and today it stands as a symbol of his love. However, the Taj Mahal is not the only accomplishment that is attributed to this man, whose full name was Shahbuddin Mohammed Shah Jahan.shah jahah made the taj mahal for his wife mumtaaz mahal,the mughal emperorordered the building of what is known as the Taj Mahal, as a mausoleum to the memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahala .When Shah Jehan was at the height of his power and happiness, it was brought to his attention that there existed in his kingdom, a great architect, who was also an especially gifted artist and sculptor, a man who could create the exact likeness of a person, merely from seeing their hands. It was said, that from a moments study of a persons hands, this man could create the exact likeness of that person in stone.

Again the Shah Jehan had the architect brought before him and spoke to him as follows: "Noble man." he began. "In the name of Allah, Please accept my pleas for your help in designing a mausoleum for my now deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal, on whom there may be peace. You were dishonored by me at our last meeting together. I now wish to set that matter aright. My daughter, the very same one whose image you carved so exactly in stone, is still unmarried. My general, the man she had been promised to was slain in battle. As a token of my sincere wish to have your services, accept my daughter in marriage. She is yours upon the fulfillment of my proposal. Design the mausoleum for my now deceased wife, Mumtaz, on whom there may be peace, and for myself."
