    The photo shows a riverside view of the Taj Mahal, with a four-story marble structure above two lower stories reaching down to the river level. Behind an arched colonnade in the middle are 22 rooms seen in other photos. Each arch is flanked by white marble Hindu lotus discs, and just above the ground level is a plinth containing many rooms sealed by Shahjahan, accessible from a doorway on the left corner leading down to the river bank.

    Taj Mahal Photo # 8

    This is a riverside view of the Taj Mahal. The four storied marble structure above has
    under it these two stories reaching down to the river level. The 22 rooms shown in other
    photos are behind that line of arches seen in the middle. Each arch is flanked by Hindu
    lotus discs in white marble. Just above the ground level is the plinth. In the left corner of
    the plinth is a doorway indicating inside the plinth are many rooms sealed by
    Shahjahan. One could step out to the river bank from the door at the left. The 7th storey
    is surmised to be under the plinth below the ground because every ancient Hindu
    mansion had a basement. Excavation to reach the basement chamber should start
    under this door.
