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 am Fluss Yamuna in Nordindien beherbergt das Taj Mahal, das monumentale Agra Fort und die Mogul-Geisterstadt Fatehpur Sikri.

Das Taj Mahal, vom Mogulkaiser Shah Jahan als Mausoleum für seine Frau Mumtaz Mahal erbaut, ist eines der meistbewunderten Bauwerke überhaupt, sein weißer Marmor wechselt von der Morgendämmerung bis zum Abend die Farbe. Seine Gärten, Wasserbecken und Einlegearbeiten sind früh am Morgen am schönsten, und die Mehtab-Bagh-Gärten am anderen Flussufer bieten einen ruhigen Blick bei Sonnenuntergang.

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