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, sul fiume Yamuna nell'India settentrionale, ospita il Taj Mahal, il monumentale Forte di Agra e la città fantasma moghul di Fatehpur Sikri.

Il Taj Mahal, costruito dall'imperatore moghul Shah Jahan come mausoleo per la moglie Mumtaz Mahal, è uno degli edifici più ammirati al mondo, con il suo marmo bianco che cambia colore dall'alba al tramonto. I suoi giardini, le vasche riflettenti e gli intarsi in pietra sono più belli la mattina presto, e i giardini di Mehtab Bagh, dall'altra parte del fiume, offrono una vista tranquilla al tramonto.
