Taj Mahal is one of the most famous building in India because it is one of the most celebrated structures and also symbolises India's rich history. This building normally has 3 million visitors a year.
The construction of this building was finished in 1643, but final touches were added making it finished in 1653. Taj Mahal is located in the southern bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra.
During ancient times, the building costed 32 million Indian rupees. In 2015 this would be 52.8 billion Indian rupees ($827 million). This is why so many people lived in poverty back in ancient India because so much money was spent on city luxuries.
20,000 people helped in the process to finish the building.
