Taj Mahal Architecture
The Taj
Mahal (Crown Palace) is India's most famous structure, and, perhaps the
most beautiful piece of architecture in the world. Photographs cannot
truly capture the grandeur of this perfectly proportioned tomb of Mumtaz
Mahal and its creator, Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal ruler.
Mumtaz Mahal was the second, and favorite, wife of Shah Jahan (r.
1628-1658). A Persian princess born as Arjuman Banu Begum, she was a
significant influence in his life and in his policies. She died at age
thirty-nine while giving birth to their fourteenth (some say thirteenth)
child in 1631. The ruler went into deep mourning and much of his empire
was compelled to do the same.
Almost immediately there was announced a competition for plans to
construct a tomb and shrine worthy of the ruler's beloved. Numerous
legends surround the selection of the architect--some even implausibly
suggesting that it was a westerner from Italy or France. But although a
number of names have been proposed, the architect's name is unknown. It
is clear that talent from many parts of the Muslim and western worlds
came together in Taj city to work on the mausoleum: engineers, carvers,
artists, calligraphers, architects, craftsmen of all sorts, and a
variety of common laborers. It is estimated that 20,000 people worked on
the tomb from 1631 to 1648. Work continued in the adjoining areas until
1653. It should be noted that the Taj Mahal is a total package of tomb,
mosque, gardens, gateways and fountains.
The Taj Mahal is set on a raised platform that is 6.6 meters (20 ft)
high and covers an area of 93.9 sq. meters (313 sq ft). The corner
minarets are 41.1 meters (137 ft) high. The main structure is 62 meters
(186 ft) on each side. In contest to the gleaming white marble of the
mausoleum, there is a pair of red sandstone buildings flanking the tomb
to the west and to the east; the western building is a mosque, while the
other, sometimes called the guest house or museum, was built to complete
the symmetry of the scene. The water causeway and fountains beautifully
join the gateway and the tomb in perfect symmetry.
There are numerous significant and striking elements in the creation of
this masterpiece both inside the taj mahal as well as outside. The
marvelously graceful piedra dura (or stone inlay work) that Adorns many
surfaces. This includes the three major elements of the Muslim
decorative arts: the sayings from the Q'uran, geometrical shapes and a
variety of plant forms and flowers, often repeated as borders. The
marble and precious stone inlays are so skillfully fit together that one
can hardly detect a seam, even with close examination. The calligraphy
of sayings from the Q'uran on the mausoleum, are in a kind of tromped
l'oeil style; the letters gradually increase in size as they go up the
side of the structure, so that from the ground all letters appear
perfectly uniform. Perhaps, however, the greatest impact is how all of
its parts fit together so perfectly, making the entire complex much
greater than the sum of its parts.
In recent years, this great monument is fighting a strange battle -
battle with increasing pollution of the area. Several measures have been
taken and several projects are under operations to save the world's
supreme architectural achievement.

The important travel tips:
·
Apply several months in advance , for a new passport as it may
take up to six weeks to receive it(though expedited services are
available in emergencies).
·
Your current passport must have been issued within the last 12
years and you must have been at least 16 years old when passport
was issued.
·
Before booking that “best fare”, read the fine print (if you can
find it!). Look for “terms and conditions”, frequently asked
questions (FAQ’s) or “customer service”. What may appear to be
the “lowest fare” could cost you in the long run.
·
Most tickets cannot be cancelled, are non-refundable and
non-changeable, which means if you make a mistake entering your
dates or destination, get stuck in traffic, have a medical
illness, or simply over sleep, you forfeit your ticket.
Purchasing a new ticket at the last minute can triple the cost
of your original fare.
·
Note your credit card number and customer service phone number
in a separate location in case you lose your card and need to
cancel it.
·
Inform your credit card customer service department in advance
of your trip. Advise them as to when you will be traveling and
in which countries so that they don't freeze your account as a
security measure against theft when their computer notes several
transactions in various countries.
Tajmahal
The city of Taj Mahal was established in 1475 by Badal Singh.
taj city finds mention in the Mahabharata as Agraban. This city
in those days was considered to be the sister city of Mathura
which was more prominent than Agraban. Agra came into its own
when the Lodhi Kings chose this place beside the Yamuna to be
their capital city. Sikander Lodhi made Agra his capital but
Babar defeated the Lodhis to capture not only Agc but also laid
the foundation of the Mughal empire.
The coming of Babar heralded a new era which was to see Agra at
its zenith during the reign of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan.
It was during Akbar's period that Agra became the center of art,
culture and commerce and learning. This trend reached its height
when Shah Jahan became the ruler.
In the mid 16th century and earlier 17th century Agra witnessed
a frenzied building activity and it was during this time when
the symbol of love Taj Mahal was built. The buildings made
during this era were purely in the contemporary Mughal style and
of very high quality which is still reflected in what ever
monuments remain in Agra.The narrow lanes of Agra filled with
aroma of Mughlai cuisine, the craftsman who are busy in crating
master pieces with their skill all remind of the Mughal royalty
which this city had once experienced. Today whatever remains,
has become a major tourist attraction which has taken Agra again
to the heights of glory but this time as a major tourist
destination of India.
One of
India's most famous cities, Agra is home to the breathtaking
white-marble Taj Mahal, a truly magnificent Mughal riverside
mausoleum and World Heritage Site. Agra lies in the state of
Uttar Pradesh, in North India, and this region is home to no
less than three designated World Heritage Sites, also including
the neighbouring ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri and the
red-sandstone Agra Fort.
For tourist
information in Agra, do try to avoid unofficial tourist guides
and travel agencies. Recommended in the Foreigners' Regional
Registration Office along the Fatehpur Sikri Road, the UP
Tourism Office at the Agra Cantonment Train Station, and also
Agra's India Tourism Office, which is located at the mall and
features tourist information not only about Agra, but
India-wide.
established as the Mughal capital in 1526 and is known for its
chaotic and vibrant marketplace (chowk), endless auto rickshaw
touts, plentiful souvenir vendors, historic temples and many
grand, ancient monuments and tombs.
