Jawab
Tajganj, Agra, Uttar PradeshAbout
The Jawab is identical to the mosque , but rather than having Koranic inscriptions it has beautiful flower designs and some other decorations that have been efficiently done in white marble on the background of red sandstone.
The building towards the east of Taj Mahal is called as the 'Jawab' and as it faces away from the Mecca it is never used for prayer so the intention of creating such a structure is a puzzle.Some say that it is a meeting hall before gathering for prayer, while others say it was a caravanserai for pilgrims.
