Over 1000 elephants were used for transporting the construction material and around 20,000 people worked day and night for over 22 years to build the Taj Mahal.
At least 30 different types of gemstones were used to make the Taj Mahal look beautiful.
The marble walls of the Taj Mahal change colours throughout the day and night. In the morning it appears pink, looks bright white in the day, and in the moonlight, it appears golden.
