Inspiration in wonder Taj Mahal Palace. This was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the admired masterpieces of the world heritage." In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was widowed when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of her 14th child, Gauhara Begum. The construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally known as an inspiration to build the Taj Mahal. Therefore, inspired me in white marble and precious stones and semi-precious this monument. The beauty of the exterior decorations of the Taj Mahal are among the best of Mughal architecture.
The decorative elements were created through painting, stucco, stone and sculptures. Also there calligraphy, abstract forms and vegetative motifs. Bringing together all these elements, I created the White Queen, the beauty, harmony and love about the history of this palace.
