3. An identical Taj Mahal was supposed to be built in black marble instead of white. The base of it can still be seen across the river.
4. Over 1,000 elephant were used to transport building materials during the construction.
5. In all, 28 types of precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid into the white marble.
