Taj Mahal
"false" interior dome decorated with a sun motif. Each chamber wall has been highly
decorated with dado bas relief, intricate lapidary inlay and refined calligraphy panels,
reflecting in miniature detail the design elements seen throughout the exterior of the complex.
The garden
The complex is set around a large 300-meter square charbagh, a Mughal garden. The garden
uses raised pathways that divide each of the four quarters of the garden into 16 sunken
parterres or flowerbeds. A raised marble water tank at the center of the garden. Elsewhere, 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
