Taj Details
The thing that made the biggest impression on me about the Taj Mahal was not the enormity of it (although, that clearly is shocking). It is the details. As you walk around the buildings, you can see every nook has been carved or etched or marble has been embedded. It is hard to describe how much of it has been engineered for beauty.Here are a few photos of some of the items which caught our eye. Keep in mind that these are just the best ones, and they include some which are from other buildings - not just the Taj.

Hello my cousins! When you were at the Taj, did you notice that the jewels had be picked or carved out by thieves? A friend of mine mentioned to me that thieves (read tourists) would go to the Taj to carve out the jewels. So is it true? -Dena
We didn't see any empty places where there should have been jewels, but we both feel pretty confident that any jewels which were there are probably gone. And they've probably been gone for a while. It's too bad really, because the place is exquisite.
