When we talk about architecture, the first thing we see is the exterior of the structure and that is as exquisite as it gets. The white marble finish gives the building a great shiny finish and also gives it a plush look. The whole complex also features gazebos with intricately carved designs and also has tiered gardens. Furthermore, since it is a relatively modern piece of construction, one can also see the influence of Mughal architecture in it as by this time the Rajputs had started incorporating such designs in their architecture as well.

All the arches and pillars in the monument have intricate designs and carvings, enhancing the beauty of the structure. - Read Less
