Interesting. I was aware that Shah Jahan built the palace in honor of his wife but did not know that the Taj was originally from Mumtaz.Shah Jahan built Mumtaz Mahal Mausoleum in honor of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Mumtaz Mahal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
''Mumtaz Mahal'' (1 September 1593 -17 June 1631) meaning "the chosen one of the palace") was a Mughal Empress and chief consort of emperor Shah Jahan. The Taj Mahal in Agra was constructed by her husband as her final resting place.
