  • The Taj Mahal appears pink in the morning, white in the day and changes its color to golden in the moon light. Some believe that these changing colours depict the changing moods of a woman.
  • The pillars surrounding Taj Mahal are slightly tilted outwards so that in the event of an earthquake they will fall away and not on the main structure.
  • The Taj Mahal is perfectly symmetrical in every way, except for one thing--the two tombs inside are not equal in size. This is because the male tomb had to be larger than the female tomb.
  • The Taj Mahal cost about Rs. 32 million, which in today's money would probably exceed $1 billion!.
  • Despite being the creation of a Moghul king, the architecture of Taj Mahal was globally inspired. It's a fusion of Persian, Central Asian and Islamic architecture.
  • An identical Taj Mahal was supposed to be built in black marble instead of white. The base of it can still be seen across the river.
  • By the late 19th century, the Taj Mahal had been defaced by the British soldiers who chiseled out precious stones from the walls of the monument. At the end of the 19th century, British Viceroy, Lord Curzon, ordered a restoration of the monument and also gifted a large lamp which hangs in the interior chambers of the Taj Mahal.
  • The Taj Mahal has a mosque in its premises, which is why the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays and only those going for customary prayers are permitted inside the Taj Mahal.
  • The architecture of the Taj Mahal is a combination of Indian, Persian and Islamic styles of architecture.
