Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal, is the finest example of Mughal architecture combining Persian, Turkish and Indian styles. There are inscribed texts from the Koran round the tall doorways which appear like designs. The letters 30 feet or more above the line of the eye appear to be exactly of the same size as those a foot above the floor level, this is absolutely a revelation of the great mastery and perspective of the artists. It is made in white marble. The Taj Mahal is described as "A Dream in Marble" and the mosaic is studded with onyx, jasper, cornelian, malachite, carbuncle, lapis lazuli and precious stones. The Taj Mahal`s approximated estimate is 32 million rupees, but it is timeless and priceless due to its beauty and valor. The Taj is among the seven wonders of the world, and cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world`s heritage
