We paused at the standard places for photographs. Our guide chased

Semi-precious stones are set in the marble.

The mosque on the west side of the Taj. For symmetry, there is an identical but
empty building on the east side.

Ginger standing on the east side of the Taj. The marble grille behind, the verses of the Koran inlaid in marble,
and the semi-precious stones forming the flowers are all spectacular.
