Isa Khan was the architect of the Taj Mahal and designed it on orders of the Emperor Shah Jahan. The emperor's 14th child was born of Mumtaz Mahal and she died whilst giving birth. That was when Isa (an Irani architect) designed a mausoleum (The Taj itself), after practicing on a mud building in Delhi. The finished building was so beautiful that the Emperor cut Isa's hands off so that he'd never build anything as beautiful as the Taj Mahal ever again.
