Taj Mahal

Tomb of the wife of Shah Jahan. Built in the 17th century for his favorite wife, Mumtez-Mahal. First a look from the East gate. Then gradually closer looks at the building, entry arch to the mausoleum where Shah Jahan and Mumtez-Mahal are interred, and a look at the details of the wall. None of this is painted. It is all precious and semiprecious stones inlaid In the marble. The last two look at the gardens. Everything, buildings, landscaping, etc. Is symetrical. One more place where pictures don't live up to seeing it in personLæs mere
