Taj Mahal - Design and Layout (Monument of
Love)
|
The Mausoleum of the Taj Mahal at Agra
stands in a formally laid-out walled garden
entered through a pavilion. The
architectural complex comprises five main
elements: the Darwaza or main gateway, the
Bageecha or garden, the Masjid or mosque,
the Naqqar Khana or rest house, and the
Rauza or the Taj Mahal mausoleum. The actual
Tomb is situated inside the Taj.
The unique Mughal style combines elements of
Persian, Central Asian, and Islamic
architecture. The mosques, built only to
balance the composition are set sufficiently
far away to do no more than frame the
mausoleum. In essence, the whole riverside
platform is a mosque courtyard with a tomb
at its center. The great entrance gate with
its domed central chamber, set at the end of
the long watercourse, would in any other
setting be a monument in its own right.
Design of the Taj Mahal, Know about the
designing and construction of taj mahal,
architecture and layout of taj mahal. The
Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186
x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated,
forming an unequal octagon. The
architectural design uses the interlocking
arabesque concept, in which each element
stands on its own and perfectly integrates
with the main structure. It uses the
principles of self-replicating geometry and
a symmetry of architectural elements. The
four graceful and slender 162.5 feet
minarets, set symmetrically about the tomb,
are scaled down to heighten the effect of
the dominant, slightly bulbous dome. Its
central dome is 58 feet in diameter and
rises to a height of 213 feet It is flanked
by four subsidiary domed chambers.
The tombs of Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz
Mahal are actually located in a shadowy
burial crypt. Above them, in the main
chamber are false tombs, a common practice
in mausoleums built during the Mughal
period. Light is admitted into the central
chamber by finely cut marble screens. The
echo in this high-domed chamber is worth
hearing, and there is always somebody there
to demonstrate it.
Ironically, the perfect symmetry of Taj is
disrupted by the tomb of the man who built
it. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, his son
Aurangzeb, placed his casket next to that of
Mumtaz Mahal. His presence which was never
intended, unbalances the mausoleum's
interior. |
