The main flaw found in the architecture of the Taj Mahal is that the central dome of the structure is not perfectly symmetrical as it should have been. Several theories have come about explaining the asymmetry. One says that it could have been a construction error but Mughal Emperors were known to order the reconstruction of the buildings they did not like. If it was an error why it has not been rectified? That brings us to the second theory that the asymmetry is intentional as artists back then were known to intentionally introduce errors in their works as they considered only Allah as perfect. However, this theory as well does not satisfactorily answer the asymmetry which brings us to the second flaw of the magnificent monument. The second flaw is that the base of the chhatris in the structure has been left in red sandstone. They have not been covered with white marble. The third flaw is relatively minor as it appears that the finial over the central dome is slightly tilted from the vertical axis. The possible cause behind the tilt is believed to be the installation of the bronze replica in the early 19th century. The fourth flaw is the placement of the Emperor’s tomb. The tomb of Mumtaz Mahal (for whom the Taj was built) lies perfectly in the centre of the chamber aligned with the main entrance. To its exact right lies the tomb of her husband, Emperor Shah Jahan (the man behind the construction of the Taj). This tomb is larger and situated higher than Mumtaz’s tomb. It is completely out of place and ruins the symmetry followed everywhere in the Taj. It suggests that the Emperor's tomb was not supposed to be there which was true.
Two imperfections of the Taj Mahal are as follows: 1. The central dome of the monument is not perfectly symmetrical. 2. Central dome is tilted from the vertical axis.
Other monuments which has bilateral symmetry is the eiffel tower Taj Mahal has a great mathamatical structure All the hard efforts the 20000 workers have put for 16 years has Made India proud 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Amazing 😄🙌🏻🙋🏻♂️ Asemmetry : The cenotaph of Mumtaz Mahal sits perfectly at the centre of the chamber, it is the cenotaph of Shah Jahan that seems as if it is congested ly placed or squeezed over there....
Shah Jahan's tomb is positioned beside Mumtaz's tomb. Mumtaz's tomb is at the center of the Taj Mahal. So, Shah Jahan's tomb disturbs the symmetry of the majestic Taj Mahal.
The limestone of the Taj Mahal is eroding because of acid rain as there are a lot of factories in the are to name one is Mathura oil refinery which release harmful gases such as sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide which mixes with water and causes acid rain. This is reducing the Beauty of Taj Mahal.
i love these videos keep making these videos really happy for 10 years, also it helps me in all my classes my teachers and class appreciates me for the information thanks so much :) my teacher is also giving me a gift for this and im always first in my class due to ur videos again thanks for the information u guys also give me a taste of definition for my speeches
Awesome effort in concept and animation by BYJU's team

The video was knowledgeable and interesting. Thanks Byjus!
THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS
Byjus..is best...!!👍👍👍..because...it will gives us so many ...!!knowledge !! Thankyou byjus.... Lots of love...!!!
Byju's is not only the study but also the visualisation
Very informative.. I love Maths very much.
Amazing mind-blowing fantabulous
Shah Jahan's tomb is positioned beside Mumtaz's tomb. Mumtaz's tomb is at the center of the Taj Mahal. So, Shah Jahan's tomb disturbs the symmetry of the majestic Taj Mahal.
The best explanation how the Taj Mahal was made
What amazing things in this world ....wow
Thankyou Byjus. Amazing explanation
Byju's explain me every topic perfectly 👍👍👍
Britishers took away the precious , valuable , and shiny gems like Emarald , Ruby , and Diamonds on Taj Mahal while they ruled our bharat desh.
Great knowledge by Byju's ✨🌟
Classic knowledge 👍😊

The Information was very useful to me.
And some facts I didn't even knew about it
Well done BYJU'S 🇮🇳💯👍🏻
Fantastic explanation
Interesting want more like this!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤byjus animation .really makes it clear and understandable.
It was sooooooooo interesting I love this video ❤️ thank you byjus......👍😉
I love BYJU'S i understand every concept
Mathematics is really good subject.and also used in ancient history
Thanks a lot for such wonderful video byjus, animated so perfectly 👍👍👍
Thanks for giving Information....
The symmetry of Taj Mahal proves the mastery of the architect.
The video was awesome with so much of interesting facts.
💜
Answer is :- The central dome of the monument is slightly askew.
Really grateful
notebooks flowers and starfish also have this type of symmetry ❤
This concept is very interesting for byjus😍🥰
We are glad you think so!!😀Keep watching ua-cam.com/play/PLKnB100k_YZkpKDQ2PSEI7R-owBj3Sx6K.html
Such a great video thanks 😊
BYJU'S at its Best ...❤️
Loved the video! ❤
This was a great video. I got to learn about taj mahal while learning maths
Byju's is best learning app it's my felling sirf name nahi app ka vaisa hi app bhi hai 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂i am so proud myself because I have byjus 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Great work byju's! U Clear all my doubts.
Thanku so much
Pls continue like this
This really helped me in my Mathematics Holiday Homework
Thank you for this beautiful information
Nice explaination 👌
"Humayun's tomb" made by the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India is one such example of symmetrical monuments.
Thank you byjus apne mere video pe comment kiya☺️😊
