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 elven Yamuna i Nord-India, rommer Taj Mahal, det monumentale Agra-fortet og den mogulske spøkelsesbyen Fatehpur Sikri.

Taj Mahal, bygget av den mogulske keiseren Shah Jahan som mausoleum for hans hustru Mumtaz Mahal, er en av de mest beundrede bygningene noe sted, og den hvite marmoren skifter farge fra daggry til skumring. Hagene, speilbassengene og steininnleggene er vakrest tidlig om morgenen, og Mehtab Bagh-hagene på andre siden av elven gir en rolig utsikt ved solnedgang.

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