Taj Mahal



"There was a work assignment system [for the construction of the Taj Mahal, 1632-48 AD] under which the Mir-Imarat (manager of the project) assigned a specific type of work to a headman Ustad Isa Afandi who came from Shiraz (Iran) and was head of the naqsha-nawis (draftsmen) Department. He received Rs. 1000/- per month for the artists who worked under him and prepared on paper, various ground plans, cross-sections and elevations for the guidance of the builders." >>> From Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts
