Taj Mahal (Monument of Love)
|
In
the year 1607 when a prince of the royal
Mughal household strolled down the Meena
Bazaar, accompanied by a string of fawning
courtiers, he caught a glimpse of a girl
hawking silk and glass beads. Five years and
a wife later (in those days princes did not
marry for love alone) the regal 20-yr-old
went to wed his 19-yr-old bride. It was
a fairytale union from the start, one that
withstood court intrigues, battles for
succession and finally, the grand
coronation. And when she died on the 19th
year of their marriage, he etched her story
in stone. The Taj Mahal is the living symbol
of the monumental passion of Shah Jahan and
Arjumand Banu. Which other love story has so
grand a memorial?
Agra, The Chosen City for Taj Mahal
Agra was the chosen city of the Mughal
emperors duringAbout taj mahal, about agra
taj, history of taj mahal, city of taj mahal,
myth about taj mahal, story behind taj mahal
and more.the early years. It was here that
the founder of the dynasty, Babur, laid out
the first formal Persian garden on the banks
of the River Yamuna. Here, Akbar, his
grandson, raised the towering ramparts of
the great Red Fort. Within its walls,
Jehangir built rose-red palaces, courts and
gardens. Shahjahan embellished it with
marbled mosques, palaces and pavillions of
gem-inlaid white marble. Agra is globally
renown as the city of the Taj Mahal, a
monument of love and imagination, that
represents India to the world.
History of Taj Mahal India
The origin of the name the "Taj Mahal" is
not clear. Court histories from Shah Jehan's
reign only call it the rauza (tomb) of
Mumtaz Mahal. It is generally believed that
"Taj Mahal" (usually translated as either
"Crown Palace" or "Crown of the Palace") is
an abbreviated version of her name, Mumtaz
Mahal (Exalted One of the Palace).
The Taj Mahal is a deserving resting palace
for an Emperor's Empress. It stands on the
banks of the river Yamuna, which otherwise
serves as a wide moat defending the Great
Red Fort of Agra, the center of the Mughal
emperors until they moved their capital to
Delhi in 1637. It was built by the fifth
Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory
of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim
Persian princess. She died while
accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a
campaign to crush a rebellion after giving
birth to their 14th child.
MUMTAZ MAHAL - "Build me a Taj"
As Mumtaz Mahal lay dying, she asked four
promises from the emperor: first - that he
build the Taj, second - that he should marry
again, third - that he be kind to their
children, and fourth - that he visit the
tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the
first and second promises. Construction
began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years.
Twenty thousand people were deployed to work
on it. The principal architect was the
Iranian architect Istad Usa; it is possible
that the pietra dura work was coordinated by
an Italian artist.
TAJ MAHAL - Wonder of the World
To people the world over, the Taj Mahal,
mausoleum of Mughal Emperor shah Jana's
chief wife, Mumtaz Mahal, is synonymous with
India. Its curving, gently swelling dome and
the square base upon which its rests so
lightly is a familiar image from hundreds of
brochures and travel books. The Taj is
undoubtedly one of the most spectacular
buildings of the world. Renowned for its
architectural magnificence and aesthetic
beauty, it counts among man's proudest
creations and is invariably included in the
list of the world's foremost wonders. As a
tomb, it has no match upon earth, for mortal
remains have never been housed in greater
grandeur. |
