please tell me 5 monuments of india and the construction material (like the rocks) used to make themthank you for help in advance
Taj Mahal bricks for internal constructions and white marble was used externally. Agra Fort Built of red sandstone and white marble Qutb Minar The first three stories are made of red sandstone,but when lightning knocked off the fourth in 1368,it was restored by Firoz Shah Tughlaq,who added a fourth and fifth story of marble and sandstone. Kajuraho Temple Made of sandstone blocks fitted together Golden Temple Its lower parts marble,and its upper portion fully covered with plates of gilded copper
Lotus temple is located in Kalkaji in the south of Delhi, it is lotus shaped and has rightly been given the name. It is made of marble, cement, dolomite and sand. It is open to all faiths and is an ideal place for meditation and obtaining peace and tranquility. In 1199, Qutub-ud-Din raised the Qutub Minar either as a victory tower or as a minaret to the adjacent mosque. From a base of 14.32m it tapers to 2.75m at a height of 72.5m and a valid reason why it took two decades to complete this monument. Humayun's tomb lies on the Mathura road near its crossing with the Lodi Road. High rubble-built walls enclose here a square garden divided initially into four large squares separated by causeways and channels, each square divided again into smaller squares by pathways ('Chaharbagh') as in a typical Mughal Garden. At the center of New Delhi stands the 42m high India Gate, an Arc-de-Triomphe like Archway in the middle of a crossroad. Almost similar to its French counterpart war memorial. A unique structure raised in 1724, now lies in the heart of Delhi's commercial centre near Connaught place. This is the Jantar Mantar, one of several astronomical observatories raised by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur. to know more about these monuments and other monuments just visit this link.
