As per the New 7 Wonders organization the seven candidates were elected by voting though none is rated ranking and the 7 are equally efficient offered as a group. The Taj Mahal from Agra , India was one among the 7 Wonders to celebrate.
This gigantic Tomb was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife. Built out of white marble and standing in properly laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor was accordingly jailed and, supposed to see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.
Work on the tomb began in 1633 and 20,000 workers were laboured to build it for 17 years. The most expert architects, inlay craftsmen, calligraphers, stone-carvers and masons came from all across Indian and lands as distant as Persia and Turkey. The master mason was from Baghdab, an expert in building the double auditorium from Persia, and an inlay specialist from Delhi.
