The Taj Mahal

There is one main sight to see here, and that is the Taj Mahal building itself. It is massive, and stunningly beautiful with its symetrical design and 100% marble cladding. It looks like a cloud floating in the blue sky. There is enough but not too much carving and bas-relief, mostly of geometric patters or Arabic text, nor is there too much use of any other stone to use in inlaying designs in the marble. The tomb itself is also not so fantastic, compared to the view of the building from the outside, because there is not a lot of open space inside. A building this big needs a lot of foundation, and thick bearing walls and columns, so there is not a lot of open space left inside the building.
