3. Located on the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The mausoleum itself covers about twenty-three meters square, and is built on a base about fifty meters square and about one meter high. On each corner are hexagonal towers, about thirteen meters tall. The walls are made up from white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations: cornelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz formed into images of cypress trees and wine bottles, or more elaborate decorations like cut fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light penetrates to the interior through delicate jali screens of intricately carved white marble. Many of Nūr Jahān's relatives are interred in the mausoleum. The only asymmetrical element of the entire complex is that the cenotaphs of her father and mother have been set side-by-side, a formation replicated in the Taj Mahal. History

About Agra

Agra, ved Yamuna-floden i det nordlige Indien, rummer Taj Mahal, det monumentale Agra Fort og mogulernes spøgelsesby Fatehpur Sikri.

Taj Mahal, bygget af den mogulske kejser Shah Jahan som mausoleum for hans hustru Mumtaz Mahal, er en af verdens mest beundrede bygninger, og dens hvide marmor skifter farve fra daggry til skumring. Haverne, spejlbassinerne og stenindlægsarbejdet er smukkest tidligt om morgenen, og Mehtab Bagh-haverne på den anden side af floden byder på en rolig solnedgangsudsigt.

Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
