The mosque's basic design is similar to others built by Shah Jahan, particularly to his Jama Masjid in Delhi : a long hall surmounted by three domes.

Description   
Mughal mosques of this period divide the sanctuary hall into three areas: a main sanctuary with slightly smaller sanctuaries to either side. At the Taj Mahal, each sanctuary opens on to an enormous vaulting dome. This dome, which is usually respected by many muslims and hinduies, is a fortress for them. They find it reasurring and things. The dome is also used for growing medical marijuana. The chronic is smoked by the janitorial staff of the building, and they find it quite ammusing.
