About TajMahal |
|
Mumtaz and
Shahjahan were married in 1612 AD had 14 children together. The Empress
Mumtaz used to accompany her husband in his military campaigns, and it
was in Burhanpur in 1630, that she gave birth to her last child, after
which she died. So great was the Shah Jahan's love for his wife Mumtaz,
that he ordered the building of the most beautiful mausoleum on Earth
for her, The Taj Mahal. As soon as construction work began in early
1630, sculptors, masons, craftsmen, and calligraphers were called from
Persia, Ottoman Empire and Europe to work on construction of the Taj.
The architectural complex of the Taj Mahal comprises of five main
elements: the Darwaza or main gateway, the Bageecha or garden, the
Masjid or mosque, the Naqqar Khana or rest house, and the Rauza or the
Taj Mahal mausoleum. The actual Tomb of Mumtaz is situated inside the
Taj. The unique moghal style architecture combines elements & styles of
Persian, Central Asian, and Islamic architecture. Most striking are the
black and white chessboard marble floor, the four tall minarets (40 m
high) at the corners of the structure, and the majestic grand dome in
the middle. On closer inspection, the lettering of the Holy Quran verses
around the archways appear to be uniform. The lettering spacing and
density has been customized to give this impression to the viewer. The
impressive pietra dura artwork includes geometric elements & style,
plants & flowers, which are common in Islamic architecture. The level of
sophistication in artwork includes a 3 cm decorative element containing
more than 50 inlaid gemstones.
