The Taj Mahal is one of the most architecturally amazing buildings in the world, renowned for its symmetry. Even,the magnificent gardens are completely symmetric. There are only two flaws in the symmetry throughout the entire structure. One flaw is in the placement of the two coffins, which hold Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jehan; the coffin of the empress was placed in the mausoleum first and it was placed in the center of the room. When the emperor died, the coffin was squeezed beside hers. Shah Jehan's son made the choice to place his father's tomb next to his mother, and therefore sacrificed the symmetry. The other flaw is that one of the Minaret's which is on top of the Taj is leaning a little, this was not an error of construction. The builders purposely planned this in order to protect the rest of the building if the minaret were to fall.
