The Taj Mahal is famous for its white marble, but the art goes deeper than its façade. The marble is inlaid with semi-precious stones in floral patterns, a technique known as pietra dura. Stones like jasper, jade, and turquoise are embedded in the marble, creating delicate and colorful designs that add elegance to the monument.
