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, aan de Yamuna in Noord-India, herbergt de Taj Mahal, het monumentale Agra Fort en de Mogolspookstad Fatehpur Sikri.

De Taj Mahal, gebouwd door de Mogolkeizer Shah Jahan als mausoleum voor zijn vrouw Mumtaz Mahal, is een van de meest bewonderde gebouwen ter wereld, met wit marmer dat van zonsopgang tot zonsondergang van kleur verandert. De tuinen, spiegelvijvers en het inlegwerk in steen zijn het mooist vroeg in de ochtend, en de Mehtab Bagh-tuinen aan de overkant van de rivier bieden een rustig uitzicht bij zonsondergang.
