The uniqueness of Taj Mahal lies in a few really striking developments completed by the cultivation
organizers and modelers of Shah Jahan. One such virtuoso arranging is the putting of burial chamber
toward one side of the quadripartite nursery as opposed to in the specific place, which added rich
profundity and point of view to the far off perspective on the landmark. It is likewise, one of the
most amazing instances of raised burial chamber assortment. The burial place is additionally raised
on a square stage with the four sides of the octagonal base of the minarets reached out past the
square at the corners. The highest point of the stage is arrived at through a horizontal trip of steps
gave in the focal point of the southern side. The ground plan of the Taj Mahal is in ideal equilibrium

chamber, put on a rectangular stage finished with trimmed blossom plant themes. The cenotaph of
Shah Jahan is more noteworthy than Mumtaz Mahal and introduced over thirty years after the fact
 by the side of the last option on its west. The upper cenotaphs are just fanciful and the genuine
graves are in the lower burial place chamber (sepulcher), a training took on in the magnificent
Mughal burial places.

observe rules that guarantee that characteristics, for example, structure and configuration keep on
being protected.
