Taj Mahal, Symbol of India - 1

Taj Mahal is a Muslim mosque that Shah Jahan built for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. This is building of love and is symbol of India, too. This building is similar to Iranian architectures because Iranian architects came to India and create this beautiful palace for Shah Jahan. The exterior decorations of the Taj Mahal are among the finest in Mughal architecture. As the surface area changes the decorations are refined proportionally. The decorative elements were created by applying paint, stucco, stone inlays, or carvings. In line with the Islamic prohibition against the use of anthropomorphic forms, the decorative elements can be grouped into either calligraphy, abstract forms or vegetative motifs.
The king wanted to make an earthy heaven for his love and he was successful.
