Taj Mahal - Symbol Of Eternal Affection
Taj Mahal is a symbol of eternal affection and stands
for the pious love even after the death of the two lovers
who loved each other more than the almighty GOD. Taj
Mahal has been an inspiration for those who are true
lover of art, human emotions, also for painters, poets,
writers and musicians who try to express human emotions
in form of paintings, words, poetries and songs.
The beautiful structure was built in the city of
Agra, in state of Uttar Pradesh. The colossal
architecture is situated on the banks of the
Yamuna River and has a huge ground on its back
side which gives a beautiful starry background to
it. Taj Mahal was build in memory of the beautiful
wife of Mughal Prince,her name was Arjuman Bano
Begum. The prince Khurram(who was third son of
Mughal Emperor Jahangir)and his wife loved each
other so much that they never stayed away from
each other, even when the prince went on for wars,
they lived together.

Shahjahan And Mumtaz Mahal
The prince on becoming king after some years; changed
his name andwas called "Shahjahan" which
means 'Ruler/King of the whole World'.Shahjanan
then honored his wife Arjuman Bano with
name 'Mumtaz Mahal'. The king and queen continued
loving each other the way they did, and the queen
accompanied king Shahjahan in every campaign he
set for, even when she was pregnant.Around year 1631
when Mumtaz Mahal was pregnant,she accompanied
the king when he started his campaignto win the southern
states of India. Mumtaz Mahal, who gave birth to about
fourteen children (of which only four male and three
female children survived), died during childbirth at
Burhanpur, at the age of 39 years. Some stories say that
the devastated king was so sad thathe had imprisoned
himself in a room in remembrance of his lovely wife.
Some stories also state that the Shahajahan had banned
music, feasts and any kind of party for about two years
in his regime.No matter how hard he tried,but Shahjahan
could never forget his wife and he decided to build a
monument in the remembrance of his beloved wife.
He wanted to build a huge, beautiful monument,
entirely made up of marble which will be only one
of its types in whole world.

Construction Of Taj Mahal
Many trials were carried out in order to find out the
appropriatechoice for every possible artwork.
Various beautiful parts of the Taj Majal were specially
ordered fromvarious countries. The main dome of
Taj Mahal measures about 110 yards in circumference
and is about 107 yards above the ground.The base
on which the Taj Mahal is resting is called
Mahajar-e-Mushababbak,which was specially
designed from Turkish designers. It is said that
the tombs of Humayun and Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana(Delhi)
inspired the design and structure of the monument
Taj Mahal at certain extent. The cost of building such
a huge architectural structurewas about 50 lakhs in
those days. There are many minute details which are
not at all possible to explain in words such as beautiful
calligraphy used on the marble stones,marvelous
work of artists who carved the marble stone in various
designs etc.we all spend whole day near taj mahal..
then in the evening we return to delhi and stay one
day in delhi with our relatives and next day we came
back to goa..its really my first experience of visiting taj
mahal..i was very happy to visit taj mahal..really
whenever i want to visit a famous place then taj mahal
is my first option..this all i explain my experience of
visiting taj mahal..

Shahajahan And Taj Mahal
Shahajahan chose a garden on the banks of the Yamuna
Riverto build the structure. The reason of choosing
this spot was that, there was no other structure
which could overshadow the beauty and uniqueness
of the structure he wanted to build.This was not the
only reason why the spot was chosen for the
monument,but the place was well visible from
the king Shahajahan's palace in Fort of Agra.
Shahajahan gifted with four huge havelis against
the garden he wanted to build the monument in,
with the king of Amber who owned the garden.
The construction of the monument began in 1633.
The monument was so huge that about 20,000
workersworked for more than 17 years to build it.
The King had brought skilled workers from all over
India and some neighboring countries also such as
Baghdad, Turkey etc. A renowned architect Ustaad
Ahmed Lahori was the chief architect for this project;
he was accompanied by the counterparts who were
from Delhi an Baghdad. Every outline, every look of
he structure were discussed in details,
