Yes. Taj Mahal is a part of the Mughal Empire. Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal emperor, built Taj Mahal in the fond memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to his 14th child.

Who was the architect of the Taj Mahal?

Ustad Ahmad Lahauri was the principal architect or designer of the Taj Mahal.There is still controversy regarding the main architect of the Taj Mahal and no one it seems can agree on a single name.According to some European writers, an Italian by the name of Geronimo Veroneo was the chief architect of Taj Mahal, but there is little support for this theory in the records.Isa Khan is the name that some people credit, but the records of the Mughal Empire show as many as 37 architects can be credited with the involvement in the architecture of the Taj Mahal. Perhaps, we will never know who was the main architect of the Taj Mahal, but whoever he was he was a great builder.


Whom is taj mahal dedicated to?

Taj Mahal is a pre-Islamic fort. The construction and architecture reveals that. What is now Taj Mahal was a part of a huge building. Mongols when they overrun India were uncivilized nomadic barbarians never seen any buildings but used to live in tents ( they still do, go to Uzbeckistan and see). They could never built Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal was a temple of Shiva. Mongol emperor Shahjehan took it back from Jagat Singh and reconstructed as a Mosque, but with a wrong direction (facing East rather than West). Shah Jehan had no wife named Mumtaj Mahal or Taj Mahal. The name of the quuen who was buried next to him was named Arjumand Zamani.
