Was there an emperor that ruled the Taj Mahal?

Answer 1

The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died in childbirth. She is buried there, so it is a giant mausoleum. He originally planned to build another one like it for himself, out of black marble, but he was deposed by his son, and after he died, he was also buried beside his wife inside the Taj Mahal.
