Answer

Taj Mahal or The Taj is a well known architectural object in India for its finest design which combine elements from India, Persian and Islamic architectural style. This historical buildings was built on the south bank of the Yamuna river in Agra. It represents the story of Eternal Love of the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, to his dearest wife Mumtaz Mahal.

In 1983 UNESCO place Taj Mahal into the list of World Heritage Site and consider it as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.

Taj Mahal is a very large tomb made of ivory-white marble. The building looks like a mosque, a place for a moslem to pray. Once we see it, we will get the impression that Islamic architectural style is very strong in the building, starting with the wall and the calligraphy decorations on it, a huge dome on top of the building along with 4 minarets on every corner of the base walls. The dome is also made of marble with size nearly 35 meters and the top of it is decorated with a lotus design. The minarets is also decorated with a very detailed lotus motif.

If we come from the main entrance, we will see a large pool in front of the building, this pool is called the reflecting pool as it will reflect the image of The Taj to the sky. Once we enter the building, we will find that there are more decorations on the inner wall. The tomb as the central focus of the building is located at the lower level. The graves of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan were positioned next to each other in a large room with Persian style decorations.
