    Write down the main architectural features of the Taj Mahal.

    Answer:

    The Taj Mahal was constructed using material from all over India and Asia. It is made entirely of white marble and 28 types of precious stones are inlaid into the marble. It stands on a raised terrace with 4 minarets at each corner. The minarets are believed to slant outwards so that in the event of an earthquake, they will fall away from the tomb. The perfect proportions add to its beauty. It glows like a pearl in the moonlight.
