Emperor Shah Jahan described the Taj in these words:

Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator’s glory.

Good one Deepak,
Inner details (screen/jaali) are missing though… and one more trivia about the tombs in Taj since you’ve included them… height of Shahjahan’s tomb is more than that of his beloved… the only 2 objects not symmetrical in the complete structure…
Check out wikipedia for more details of construction and other facts :)
