The cost was about 32 million India rupees during the years 1632-1653.

Back then, one rupee was worth 30 Dutch stuivers. Five stuivers were worth 6 British pence. It takes 240 pence to make a British pound.

With this information you can figure that in 1640, one rupee was worth 0.15 British pounds. That means the Taj Mahal cost 4.8 million British pounds in 1640.

Using an inflation calculator for the British pound, I determined that a British pound in 1640 is worth 141 British pounds today. So that means the Taj Mahal cost 678,800,000 of today's British pounds.

Converting that to today's American dollars gives the Taj Mahal a cost in modern American dollars of:

$1,062,834,098

The Taj Mahal was built by an Emperor called Shah Jahan to remember his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She was his third wife, and as she neared death, the story goes that she asked her husband to build the most beautiful mausoleum in the world in memory of her. Shah Jahan was grief-stricken at his wife's death, so he honored her request.

The Taj Mahal's construction commenced a year after her death, in 1632, and the main building was finished in 1648.

For many historians the effect of pollution on historical sites is a daily battle. Acid rain and smog eat into marble causing small holes in the stone. The Acropolis in Greece is one of main sites that is having this problem. All over the world buildings and historical sites are having problems with pollution and the growth of cities near the site. The Spinx is crumbling and through the centuries various repairs have been done to it, but that has only aided the damage from smog and traffic. The Roman Colosseum sits in the middle of a traffic circle in Rome. Repairs have been ongoing on the Colosseum and several sections have been rebuilt. In the United States civil war battle sites fight the growth of cities and malls. In some sites a malls form a boundary to the battle site. Natural forces also take their toll on historical sites. Mt. Rushmore is worked on because the granite cracks due to the snow, heat, rain, and pollution. Our national parks are dying because the trees are dying from drought, pollution, and insects. Once all of these things are gone they can not be replaced and hundreds if not thousands are in trouble because of pollution.

It was built around 1631 as a mausoleum (a tomb) for the wife of Emperor Shah jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal by the emperor himself. When the Shah died he was also buried alongside his beloved wife.

Although the Taj Mahal is now a beautiful tourist attraction and one of the most beautiful structures in the world, it is still essentially a tomb, and continues to be so to this day, as both the Shah and his wife are still buried at the centre of the building.
