Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and it is the most beautiful monument. More over it attracts all people from all of word.
Some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. Ever built it is built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It is stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at down and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the taj as if suspended when viewed from across the jamuna river. Taj Mahal was built by a muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India. It is an "elegy in marble" or some say an exprewwion of a "dream". Taj Mahal ( meaning Crown palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber. The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. The queen's real name was Arjumand Banu. In the tradition of the Mughals, important ladies of the royal family were given another name at their marriage or at some other significant event in their lives, and that new name was commonly used by the public. Shah Jahan's real name was Shahab-ud-din, and he was known as Prince Khurram before ascending to the throne in 1628. taj Mahal was constructed over a period of twenty-two year's employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E.at a cost of 32 Million Rupees. The construction ********s show that it's master architect was Us tad ' Isa, the renowned Islamic architect of his time . The ********s contain names of those employed and the inventory of construction materials and their origin. Expert craftsmen from Delhhi, Qannauj, Lahore, and Multan were employed. In addition, many renowned Muslim craftsmen from Baghdad, Shiraz and Bukhara worked on many specialized tasks. The Taj stands on a raised, aquare platform (186 x 186 feet ) with it's four corners
truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural elements.... The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprisig of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a mosque(to the left) , a guest house ( to the right ), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it. The large garden contains four reflecting pools dividing it at the center. Each of these four sections is further subdivided into four sections and then each into yet another four sections. Like the Taj, the garden elements serve like Arabesque, standing on their owen and also constituting the whole .
