    emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite
    wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre)[5] complex, which
    includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by
    a crenellated wall.
    Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other
    phases of the project for another 10 years. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been
    completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million rupees,
    which in 2015 would be approximately 52.8 billion rupees (U.S. $827 million). The construction
    project employed some 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by the
    court architect to the emperor, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.
    The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel of
    Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". It is
    regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and
