Therefore, the builders had to come up with an innovative foundation system. Foundations of the Taj Mahal. The solution was applied in the following way: they dug wells to find the water level. Then, over the wells they placed a base of stones and mortar, except for one that they left open to monitor the water level. On this basis, they created a system of stone columns linked by arches. Finally, on these they arranged a large loss of lift, which functions as a base for the great mausoleum.
