The Tah Mahal is a truly incredible structural achievement and the most famous example of 17th-century Indo-Islamic architecture anywhere. Its stunning visual beausty has a combination of arches and domes and light and shadow. The beauty of the building is enhanced by its green sub-tropical surroundings and the clear blue sky above it. The white ornate walls, which are embedded with thousands of wonderful semi-precious stones, constantly change colour during the day as the sun changes its position in the sky. The large domed chamber, which houses the final resting places of the Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal, is at the centre of the building. There are four tall round imposing minarets at each corner of the main chamber. The view as you walk through the majestic main gate which stands in the centre of the southern wall is one that a visitor will never forget.
