For anyone who doesn’t know the story of the Taj Mahal, there’ s a bit of history in this one. I did marble flooring with gray and gold accents. The towers are also marbleized. The Taj Mahal was built in the years between 1631 and 1648. It was to be a symbol of the love Shan Jahan had for his wife Mumtaz Magal who died giving birth to their 14th child. The cost to build the mausoleum was around 32 million and estimated to be worth $827 million in current times.
