It is considered one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uniqueness Marble Mausoleum: The Taj Mahal is primarily a mausoleum, a grand tomb made to honor Shah Jahan's wife. It is made entirely of white marble, which gives it its stunning and iconic appearance. Symmetry and Balance: The Taj Mahal's architecture is characterized by its perfect symmetry and balance. The four minarets at each corner of the main building enhance this symmetry. Reflecting Pool: The monument is surrounded by a large reflecting pool, adding to its visual appeal and creating an illusion of the Taj Mahal floatingon water.All Rights Reserved
