TEMPLE OF LOVE is the name the world has given to the famed Taj Mahal of India—probably one of the best-known pieces of architecture in the world. It is not alone for its beaut], that it is so known. but because it stands as a symbol of the undying love of an Indian potentate for his dead wife. Picture shows the front of the building, with its gardens and lily ponds. Marble used in the building is pure white, too dazzling in the Indian sunshine for eyes to look at it with comfort

NOTABLE AS AN EXAMPLE of the earlier forms of Indian architecture is the Sas Bahu Temple in the Fori, Civalior. It ivas built at the close of the eleventh century and only the porch of this ancient temple is now standing.

SARACENIC ARCHITECTURE, which is probably the best-known form of Indian architecture, is Well illustrated in this view of the interior of the Diwan-i-Khas (the Hall of Private Audience), in the Fart, Delhi Built of white marble, it is richly decorated with gold and paintings and inlaid with coloured marbles.

THE ROYAL TOMB of the favourite wife of Shah Jehan in the Taj Mahal is situated in surroundings of exquisite beauty. The interior marble screens, perforated and carved and surrounded by delicate inlaid ipork of gold and precious stones, are unique.
