The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was built over a span of more than 20 years and costs huge amounts of money and laborers. It is most widely believed to have been built for his dead wife as her tomb, but some historians argue that it was also built as a sort of monument to the emperor’s own wealth. The Taj Mahal shows us just how much death mattered in the Mughal Culture. At that point, Aurangzeb had not yet changed Akbar’s mix of religion into Islam, so the both Islamic and Hindu beliefs were influential at this time. You can tell that the Muslim beliefs about death were dominant because in Islam the bodies are buried whereas in Hinduism, the bodies are cremated. They buried his wife and built an enormous tomb for her, so obviously they believed in burial, not cremation. This may have been foreshadowing to the Islamic conversion of the empire before Aurangzeb.

As many others have said, the Taj Mahal used an enormous amount of money. This obviously takes a toll on the economic aspect of the SPECS. However, I think that there are also several other aspects as well. As Roshan said, there is the social aspect of the Taj Mahal, as well as a cultural and scientific one. The Taj Mahal was designed by people who were somewhat culturally diverse, so the Taj Mahal ended up being influenced by other cultures. Scientifically, any architecture of that size is in some ways a scientific achievement.
