Did you know the Taj Mahal is made entirely of Marble. Inside and out. Marble usually lays among the oldest part of the earths crust.

built from iridescant white marble and inlaid with semi=precious stones, the Taj Mahal is an incredible structure that really doesn't look like it was built between 1631 and 1648.

The Taj Mahal’s century-old chandelier that recently sustained damage was one of two gifted by Viceroy Lord Curzon in the early 20th century. And thereby hangs a tale.

This is the Taj Mahal, located in Agra, India. The Taj Mahal exemplifies the use of White Marble in Islamic architecture. The Taj Mahal was built in memory of Shah Jahans wife, Mumtaz, from 1631 to 1648. The entirety of the mausoleum is constructed out of white Makrana marble. The use of the material was representational of the sacredness of the space and is a symbol for purity and love. The interior features marble ornamentation with colored arabesque and calligraphic inlays and carvings.
