Taj Mahal
parterres or flowerbeds. A raised marble water tank at the center of the garden. Elsewhere, the
garden is laid out with avenues of trees and fountains.
The Taj Mahal garden is unusual in that the main element, the tomb, instead is located at the
end of the garden.
Outlying buildings
The Taj Mahal complex is bounded by crenellated red sandstone walls on three sides with
river-facing side open. Outside these walls are several additional mausoleums, including those
of Shah Jahan's other wives, and a larger tomb for Mumtaz's favorite servant. These
structures, composed primarily of red sandstone, are typical of the smaller Mughal tombs of
the era.
At the far end of the complex, there are two grand red sandstone buildings that are open to the
sides of the tomb. Their backs parallel western and eastern walls, and these two buildings are
precise mirror images of each other.
