Agra was a principal Mughal capital; the Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan (circa 1632–1653) as a mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal, while nearby forts and tombs reflect successive Mughal rulers.
Conservation
Air pollution and river health affect the Taj’s marble; local and national conservation measures limit traffic near the monument and support restoration—travelers can help by using refillable bottles and following site rules.
