22 years employing 20 thousand workers, the splendid
structure of Taj embodied three different ways of exquisite
decorative elements. These are;

- Taj Mahal Marble Carvings
Each of the above art form played an important role
in creating this glorious structure. However, the one
which really spellbind everyone on entering this historic
site i.e. Marble carvings in Taj Mahal.
An exemplar of Marble carvings in Taj Mahals is the Jali
or octagonal marble screen. It borders the cenotaphs
and is made from eight marble panels. Each marble panel
has been engraved through with intricate pierce-work.
Another model of excellent Marble carvings in Taj Mahal
is the vegetative motifs seen on the lower walls of
the tomb. The white marble dados of the tomb are graved
with realistic bas embossment drawings of flowers and
vines. The marble has been polished to punctuate the
recherché particularization of these carvings.
In fact the brilliant marble carvings are well complemented
with pietra dura inlay work. The dado frames and archway
spandrels in Taj Mahal where geometric vines, flowers
and fruits are carved out there highly stylized art
of pietra dura inlay work is applied.
