Well, if you know your history about the place, you'd know that this "palace" is actually a mausoleum.
Just recently, I read a report where the beautiful marble of the Taj Mahal is being threatened by the droppings of insects that are swarming from the highly polluted river nearby. Workers scrub the marble daily to clean the droppings off, but the act of scrubbing is starting to wear away the mosaics. Unfortunately, the problem is actually turning the white marble green and there isn't an easy solution.
One of the most fascinating things that I've learned about the Taj Mahal is that the architecture follows the Golden Ratio. If you have a chance, I'd suggest you do some research into the Fibonacci sequence and what is meant by sacred geometry. It's an incredibly interesting story.
