The Taj Mahal, sometimes called as a monument of symmetry, has a cubical main structure. It is divided in to 4 sections, with 4 cylindrical minarets continuing the symmetrical theme. The windows have arches which comes to a point. The interior domes show inlaid geometrical decoration, with rectangular pool mirrors, and intersecting perpendicular lines creating angles of symmetry.
