A masterpiece, as per me more intricate and beautiful than the Taj Mahal. Commissioned by Nurjahan in memory of her parents. It's a marble mausoleum with beautifully carved stones. Precious stones and gold work currently in Britain courtesy Goras(pun intended). Located on the banks of Yamuna, it was a precursor and inspiration for the Taj Mahal.
