ABOUT

Taj Mahal Section 1 Type-2

·The interior chamber of the Taj Mahal reaches far beyond traditional decorative elements.

Planning and Construction Section 2 Type-2

·The Taj Mahal stands along the banks of the River Yamuna.
·The land where the Taj Mahal presently stands was owned by the Kachhwahas of Ajmer, situated in Rajasthan.

·Emperor Shah Jahan acquired the land in order to construct the memorial site, in return for four Havelis.

·The bricks used for the construction of the Taj Mahal were prepared locally, while the exquisite white marble was obtained from Makrana, situated in Rajasthan.

·The Emperor ordered the use of semi-precious stones for the inlay ornamentation and had them specially brought from distant regions of India, Afghanistan, and Ceylon as well.

·The use of red sandstone in varied tints and shades is quite evident and these were specially ordered from the neighbouring quarries of Dholpur and Sikri.

·Whatever be the time, the Taj won't stop spreading its appeal and eminence and will keep on being as luminescent as ever.
