An ivory white-marbled mausoleum on the southern bank of Yamuna River in India was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the loving memory of his wife Mumtaz.
Umerkot’s Abdul Rasool immortalized the memory of his beloved wife Maryam after her death in 2015 by erecting a similar structure in Umerkot as of Shah Jahan’s Taj Mahal in India.
