The intricate inscriptions in Arabic script, drawn from historical and Quranic texts, have helped establish the chronology of this magnificent monument.

The construction of the Taj Mahal brought together skilled artisans from across the empire, Central Asia, and Iran, including masons, stone cutters, layers, carvers, painters, calligraphers, and dome builders. The mastermind behind this iconic structure was Ustad-Ahmad Lahori, its chief architect. Regarded as the pinnacle of Indo-Islamic architecture, the Taj Mahal’s beauty lies in its harmonious balance of solids and voids, concave and convex forms, and the play of light and shadow. The elegant arches and domes further enhance its aesthetic appeal, making it a true masterpiece of architectural design.
