Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan were positioned next to each other in a large room with Persian-style

decorations.

Taj Mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty at different times during the day. At dawn
when the first rays of the sun hit the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly pinkish

palace. In the daytime, when the sky is bright and clear, The Taj looks milky white. On a moonlit

night when the full moon rays fall on the glistening white marble, the cool moon rays reflect back
from the white marble and give the Taj Mahal a tinge of blue color. It's simply breathtaking! With

such beauty, it's no wonder that in 1983 UNESCO place the Taj Mahal on the list of World Heritage

sites and consider it as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired
masterpieces of the world's heritage”.
