Question
Study the picture of the Taj Mahal and answer the following question:
How does this monument reflect the Mughal style of architecture?
Solution 1
This monument reflects the Mughal style of architecture as it is made of pure white marble. The main structure is constructed on a high platform. On each of the four corners of this platform, there is a minaret. The central dome rises to a height of 56.1 meters. The interior has an octagonal chamber. The marble dome in the center looks like an inverted lotus. The grave is in the lower chamber, underground.
Solution 2
The Taj Mahal is renowned for its Mughal architecture, although its style combines elements from Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Indian architecture, and was inspired by certain Timurid and Mughal buildings, such as the Gur-e Amir (the tomb of Timur, Samarkand), Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb(Baby Taj, Agra), and the Jama.
