The Taj is the monument that keeps alive the eternal love of Shah Jehan and Mumtaz Mahal. Its grandness is striking. It is made from white marble slabs and decorated with ornamental carvings on marble embellished with precious stones like diamonds and emeralds. The marble for the Taj came from Makrana and Makrana became famous for Marble across the world after the construction of the Taj Mahal of Agra so much so that today Makrana and Marble are considered synonymous.
