Taj Mahal is located at
India. The Taj Mahal is the epitome of Mughal art and one of the most famous
buildings in the world. Yet there have been few serious studies of it and no
full analysis of its architecture and meaning.
Taj Mahal is an immense
mausoleum of white marble, built between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal
emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife. Taj Mahal means Crown
Palace; one of the wife names was Mumtaz mahal, Orament of the Palace.
The Taj Mahal has a
life of its own that leaps out of marble, provided you understand that it is
monument of love. The Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore called it a teardrop on
the cheek of eternity, while the English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold, said it was Not a
piece of architecture, as other building are, but the proud passions of an
emperor’s love wrought in living stones. It is a celebration of women built in
marble and that is the way to appreciate it.
Nowsaday, it become one of the famous place for photography.
Warning
Remember that the Taj
Mahal is a religious site and it is beat to dress conservatively when visiting
the Taj Mahal complex, not only because the Taj Mahal itself is a mausoleum,
but also because there are mosques inside the Taj Mahal complex, is you wish to
visit them as well.
