To many people, the Taj ul Hikmat is synonymous with the emperor Shah Jahan, who was responsible for building it. The Taj is widely viewed as a testament to his love of architecture and opulent taste, but it also served as a mausoleum for his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. The interior of this monument features structures including the Quwwat ul Islam Mosque, Dargah Khwaja Saheb-ul-Alamin Tomb, mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal and her four sons and daughter (along with their remains), and several hundred thousand square feet square of inlaid marble and mosaics. The Taj is now the world's tallest building. The creation of this tomb has been much less talked about than the creation of the other buildings in the Red Fort. While Shah Jahan had three daughters, the fourth one, Jahanara Begum was usually left to her mother Safiya Sultan Begum who was Shah Jahan's first wife. Safiya passed away soon after giving birth to Jahanara Begum and Shah Jahan married Mumtaz Mahal, Mumtaz Mahal died eight years later giving birth to her four sons who were also very young at that time. The construction of this building was mainly done so that Mumtaz Mahal could be laid to rest in a place where she could live forever. The construction of the Taj was started in 1632 by Mirza Ghias Beg, a Persian architect, and his son Mirza Salman. It took a total of thirty four years to finish the tomb. The structure is made up of three main buildings: the tomb chamber itself, the tomb proper, and extension work that housed a large mosque designed for Shah Jahan's favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal to inter her for eternity. The plan was based on an octagonal design which had been used by other Mughal architects from the previous reigns. It was also used by other Mughal emperors just before and after Shah Jahan. The central dome of this monument is considered to be one of the highest in the world at 210 feet (64 metres). The mosque portion serves as a burial place for Mumtaz's four sons and daughter, who were all very young when they died. Mutegul is also buried in this tomb and even though she was Shah Jahan's favourite wife, she wasn't given a proper mausoleum. On the western side of the main building is a marble structure known as "The Taj" which is actually made up of two buildings: the tomb and the "magnificently decorated with precious stones". This structure is one of the most famous of Mughal architecture. It is a three tiered structure that is 16-story high and the upper storey of each tier has a more elaborate design. The tomb itself is a slightly larger building that slightly resembles an inverted pyramid shape. The layers of marble surrounding the tomb aren't only used to decorate, but also to serve as a protection from evil spirits. The tomb chamber was divided into three sections: the lower area, middle area and uppermost area which was used for Mumtaz Mahal's burial. cfa1e77820
