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, vid floden Yamuna i norra Indien, rymmer Taj Mahal, det monumentala Agra Fort och mogulernas spökstad Fatehpur Sikri.

Taj Mahal, byggt av den mogulske kejsaren Shah Jahan som mausoleum åt hans hustru Mumtaz Mahal, är en av världens mest beundrade byggnader, och dess vita marmor skiftar färg från gryning till skymning. Trädgårdarna, spegeldammarna och stenintarsian är som vackrast tidigt på morgonen, och Mehtab Bagh-trädgårdarna på andra sidan floden erbjuder en stilla solnedgångsutsikt.
