The amazing Taj Mahal, built in the mid 1600's for, in today's money about $1Bn. The image only tells part of the story. There are more axes of symmetry. The red-ish building is a kind of lodging for visitors to pay honour to the tomb of Shah Jahan's wife could stay. But symmetrically opposite is an identical building which was a mosque. Jahan's problem was the entire workforce (20,000 of them) headed off into Agra to pray several times a day, so he had a mosque built on-site. Then he built the lodging to keep the symmetry correct.

Of course he nearly bankrupted himself building this. But, keeping with symmetry, directly opposite across the river he started building a black marble mirror image of the Taj Mahal as his own tomb. He got as far as getting the foundations dug and a few courses of marble laid when his son had him arrested before he spent every penny. He put him under house arrest in conditions of considerable luxury, and with a window so he could see the Taj Mahal in the distance.

Agra is a real dump, with massive poverty and beggars by the thousand - and it is where the Taj Mahal is.

If you ever get to see it, go there in time to see the dawn - the white marble is astonishing in the light of the sun as it rises.
