Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is a mausoleum-mosque located in Agra, India, on the banks of the Jamna River (architects, probably Ustad-Isa, etc.). It was built by order of a descendant of Tamerlane - the padishah of the Mughal Empire Shah Jahan in memory of the wife of Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth of the fourteenth child (later Shah Jahan himself was buried here).
Inside the mausoleum there are two tombs - the shah and his wife. In fact, the place of their burial is located below - strictly under the tombs, underground. The construction time dates back to about 1630-1652 years. The Taj Mahal is a five-domed structure with a height of 74 m on a platform, with 4 minarets at the corners (they are slightly inclined to the side of the tomb in order not to damage it in case of destruction), which is adjoined by a garden with fountains and a pool.
The walls are lined with polished translucent marble (brought for construction 300 km away) inlaid with gems. They used turquoise, agate, malachite, carnelian, etc. Marble has such a feature that in bright daylight it looks white, pink at dawn, and silver on a moonlit night.
