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, sur la rivière Yamuna dans le nord de l'Inde, abrite le Taj Mahal, le monumental fort d'Agra et la cité fantôme moghole de Fatehpur Sikri.

Le Taj Mahal, construit par l'empereur moghol Shah Jahan comme mausolée pour son épouse Mumtaz Mahal, est l'un des édifices les plus admirés au monde, son marbre blanc changeant de couleur de l'aube au crépuscule. Ses jardins, ses bassins réfléchissants et ses incrustations de pierre sont les plus beaux tôt le matin, et les jardins de Mehtab Bagh, de l'autre côté de la rivière, offrent une vue paisible au coucher du soleil.
