A lesser-known but no less critical structure, the tomb of the wife of Shah Jahan (ex-ruler of the Mughal Empire and the man who built the Taj Mahal) is the perfect example of the luxury of the Mughal era.

• Mehtab Bagh:

Mehtab Bagh is a garden in Agra, India. It is located in the northern part of the city. It is a Mughal garden with a large pool in the center, surrounded by a marble pavilion. The pavilion has an entrance through a large arched gateway facing the Taj Mahal. The garden was primarily built for the personal use of the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, who often used it for entertainment and as a guest house for visiting dignitaries. Shah Jahan's wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died in childbirth in Burhanpur on her way to Agra in June 1631, and the emperor was so distraught that he built the Taj Mahal as a tomb for her. He then began the construction of Mehtab Bagh as a mausoleum for himself. Mehtab Bagh was originally more minor than the Taj Mahal, with a white marble mausoleum encircled by a walled garden and a pool. A central walkway, flanked with cypress trees, led to the mausoleum, which was topped with a white marble dome.

The monument is a perfect example of Mughal architecture and is also known as the Pearl Mosque. The building was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The building is made of white marble and is octagonal. The name of the building comes from the 8-sided mirror in the middle of the mosque.
The Taj takes its name from the name of Mumtaz Mahal, whose name means "Crown of the Palace." She died in 1631, giving birth to the couple's 14th child.
