Taj Mahal

The reflecting pool (which was dry Saturday morning) leading up to the Taj Mahal.

A view of the mausoleum from the Chahar Bagh gardens.

The Taj is covered with Islamic calligraphy and floral decorations.

Plant motifs are carved on the inside and outside walls of the Taj.

The elaborate inlay consists of jasper, jade, turquise, lapis, lazuli and sapphire.
