The Taj Mahal [Images] is synonymous with beauty.

And this is a fact billionaire Donald Trump, owner of the world's largest casino, the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino Resort, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is well aware of.

Which is why the striking Aishwarya Rai [Images] was called on to grace the opening of the Royal Albert Palace, the Trump Taj's Mahal's only Indian eatery.

As always, the actress basked smilingly in the spotlight.
