Taj Mahal
Nominated amongst the 7 wonders of the world and with the highest number of votes, the Taj has this amazing aura about it, and, quite rightly so. No matter how much you have heard about the place, or, no matter how high your expectation be, the actual viewing always exceeds the most ambitious expectation. There is absolute perfection in symmetry. Not a stone is out of place or out of balance. Then, talk about the detailed inlay work of semi precious stones. You could look at a small flower with 64 petals - each petal is a precious stone, and, so are the hair thin veins that separate each petal. Of course, all this arrives in a gigantic size!
