Aligarh: The Taj Mahal built by Mughal -Equeer Shah Jahan is not only a wonderful example of architecture, but is also a symbol of the political power, economic system and royal vision of that era. The name of any architect is not recorded in history regarding this mausoleum made in memory of Mumtaz, but this is the result of the attempt of many people and the direct monitoring of Shah Jahan, who gave it the status of the World Heritage Heritage today. What is the story of the formation of the Taj Mahal, which gives information about the story of the history department of Aligarh Muslim University, MK Pundir said that when the Taj Mahal was built during the time of medieval India, the ruler was not only a king but also considered the same as the financing officer and the chief administrative officer.

So it took 22 years to make it, for which 20,000 laborers worked day and night. No one architect has a name, we certainly get some names from contemporary historical sources. Asif Khan is specially mentioned in this, which is known for the calligraphy and decorative patterns of the Taj Mahal. Similarly, the contribution of Inayat Khan comes out. However, there is no name of a specific architect in contemporary literature, but it is so clear that Shah Jahan has gathered many experts and has participated entirely in this whole process. Who is the main architect of the Taj Mahal, MK Pundir says that Shah Jahan can be considered the main architect of the Taj Mahal because he himself used to sit and make decisions related to construction and decoration. Credit cannot be given to one person. Asif Khan and others contributed to their yogity such as decorations, paintings and caligraphy. In terms of budget and expenses. The financing position of the Mughal Empire was very strong at the time of Shah Jahan. At the time, the method of budget was not like the modern times of today. Shah Jahan had enough money in the Treasury and he invested a lot in this task. The use of Makrana Stone says the historian that there is a part in history that when Mirza Raja Jai Singh Shah Jahan informed that White Stone (marble) was found in Makrana area, Shah Jahan ordered all this marble to be sent to Agra. Since the ruler was owned by minerals and construction material at the time. Therefore, no payment was made. Only transport costs were increased. Thus, the construction of the Taj Mahal included direct monitoring, heavy investment and efforts of the mughal cage. Which made it the historical monument of the world.
