In 1631, the wife of the Mughal emperor died in childbirth while giving birth to her fourteenth child. She was 36 years old and had been married for 18 years. To her husband Shah Jahan, she lost not only a beloved wife, but also an astute counselor. He is said to have spent two years in mourning (his hair turned white with grief, according to another account). He vowed to commemorate his wife by building an unparalleled mausoleum worthy of her. No one can deny his success. Amimandar Bannu, or Mumtaz Mahal (the "Chosen Palace") is commemorated by a stunning structure bearing her initials: Taj Mahal. Because so many superlatives have been used to describe this building, most people who visit it fear they will be disappointed when they approach it.

The shape of the Taj Mahal, so familiar from countless photographs, is used as a restaurant logo, as a trademark for chutneys and condiments, in fact it is used everywhere, people see it. When I arrived, I immediately thought of a place like India. Still, few people who see the Taj Mahal are disappointed.

The Taj Mahal never tires of viewing, and it still manages to amaze. It displays different characteristics at different times of the day and in different natural light. Although it is a mausoleum, it does not have the loneliness of ordinary mausoleums. Instead you feel that it seems to be floating between heaven and earth. Its harmonious symmetry, gardens and water reflections merge to create a miracle that has amazed countless visitors. An estimated 20,000 craftsmen were involved in the construction of the Taj Mahal, which took 22 years to complete. It is said that a Frenchman and a Venetian were involved in some of the work. No architect is recorded as having definitely participated in the construction of the tomb - which is appropriate for the structure, since its original intention was to remember only the people who were in the tomb.

The Taj Mahal is made of marble transported from a quarry 322 kilometers away, but it is not the pure white building in some photos. Thousands of precious and semi-precious stones are inlaid on the marble surface, and the text on the tomb is made of black marble. Excellent craftsmanship can be seen in a carved marble fence. When the sun hits the fence, it casts changing shadows. There used to be a silver door with a gold railing inside and a large piece of cloth pierced with pearls covering the queen's cenotaph (which was located above the actual burial place). Thieves stole these precious things, and many people tried to dig out the gems embedded in the marble columns, but the majesty of the Taj Mahal still fascinated people.

The Taj Mahal is located in a scenic area. The solemn and majestic doorway symbolizes the entrance to heaven, with a pavilion with an arched dome above it. There used to be a sterling silver door here, with hundreds of silver nails inlaid on it. These things have been looted and the door is now made of copper.

There does not seem to be much truth in the legend that Shah Jahan wanted to build himself an identical black marble mausoleum on the other side of the Jumna River. His son Aurangzeb proclaimed himself emperor in 1658 and kept his father under house arrest in a castle in Agra for nine years until his death. Shah Jahan could see the Taj Mahal from the castle. Later he was also buried in the Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal represents the pinnacle of Mughal architectural achievement. This style of mausoleum is erected on a plinth and is surmounted by a minaret, and is treated with the same reverence as a mosque. This style of memorial tombs developed in northern India and subsequently disappeared.

The construction of Houmain's mausoleum in Delhi started in 1564. It is the prototype of the Taj Mahal, solid and majestic rather than delicate and elegant. In the 1670s, Aurangzeb built a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife in Ozgabad, but it did not have the charm and harmony of the Taj Mahal. Another mausoleum in Delhi, the Tomb of Saifuldarja, started in 1753, has been called "the last flash of Mohammad architecture". However, it is not a building that people try their best to see from the canal. These memorial mausoleums all have a standard pattern - a large onion-shaped vault, water channels, flowers divided into four parts. The builders of the Taj Mahal melted these things together to create an unparalleled building.

The theft of precious treasures from the Taj Mahal was nothing compared to the conspiracy hatched by Sir William Bentinck, the Governor-General of Bengal. In the 1830s, he planned to demolish the Taj Mahal, which was neglected and overgrown at the time, and transport the marble to London for sale. The plan was abandoned only because no buyer could be found for the marbles removed from the Red Fort in Delhi. Later, Curzon, who became the Governor-General of India in 1900, restored the Taj Mahal.

There is no doubt that the Taj Mahal is an example of perfect art in the world. The building basically made of marble is flawless, and the Taj Mahal under the moonlight gives people a feeling of wonderland. She not only expresses Shah Jahan's deep memory of his beloved wife, but is also a gift he gave to mankind.

The Taj Mahal is a huge mausoleum-mosque built of white marble. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Agra from 1631 to 1648 in memory of his beloved concubine. The Taj Mahal is the most perfect treasure of Indian Muslim art and one of the world heritage masterpieces that amazes the world.

The Taj Mahal, located in the ancient capital of Aggarh, India, is one of the seven wonders of the world. Most people who travel to India come here to admire its reputation. There is actually a sad and lingering history behind this seven architectural wonders of the world. Understanding its historical background can indeed increase the interest of viewing the Taj Mahal. In the 17th century, Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan used tens of thousands of workers to build a mausoleum decorated with precious stones in memory of his beloved concubine Mutazima. The meticulous patterns are amazing. The most eye-catching thing about the Taj Mahal is the main building made of pure white marble. The royal mausoleum is neatly symmetrical from top to bottom, left and right, and the central dome is 62 meters high, which is breathtaking. There are four minarets about 41 meters high around it, and between the towers stand tombstones inlaid with thirty-five different types of semi-precious stones. The cemetery covers an area of ??17 hectares and is a slightly elongated circle, surrounded by red sandstone walls. The entrance gate is also built with red stone, about two stories high, and there are eleven typical white figures on the back of the top of the gate. Small conical tower. The door leads all the way to the burial chamber of King Shah Jahan and his wife. Their sarcophagi are placed in the center of the chamber, which is solemn and solemn. In front of the Taj Mahal is a clear waterway with fruit trees and cypress trees planted on both sides of the waterway, symbolizing life and death respectively.
