Shah Jahan, son of the empires founder, Ali Akbar, had the resplendent mausoleum built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who bore him 14 children in 16 years before dying in childbirth. Shah Jahan dedicated the Taj Mahal to her. Even in their own lives in the 16th Century, their great love was legendary. Shah Kahan was fifteen when he had asked for the hand of the courtly, elegant 14-year old from a Persian aristocratic family. It was twenty more years before he finally became Emperor, after years of flight from his jealous brothers. It was then that his Taj Mahal, the resplendent white marble edifice with its delicate inlaid gemstones, became an immortal statement of the artistic spirit brought to India by the Moguls, the conquerors from the north. With Emperor Shah Jahan, the legendary splendour of the Orient unfolds in India: the Peacock Throne, the Red Fort, the Gardens of Shalimar.
