The Taj Mahal and its precious historical values are preserved inside its unique architecture
Brief introduction about the Taj Mahal
On the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra city, Uttar Pradesh state stands out a beautiful architectural work called the Taj Mahal. This is a symbol of the immortal love between Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. From 1632 to 1648, the emperor built this temple as a promise to his wife before she passed away. The mausoleums of the two royal families are located in the center of the temple, surrounded by the main gate, church, garden and resting area. The Taj Mahal has a bold Mughal architectural style combining Islamic and Hindu art with sophisticated and harmonious decorative details. The Indian Taj Mahal is one of the world cultural heritages protected and honored by UNESCO
The Taj Mahal is a beautiful architectural work that stands out with the pure white color of marble on the cool green background of plants. This temple is a symbol of Indian Islamic art with graceful curves from the domes, doorways and pillars. The sunlight makes the color of the temple change at each moment of the day, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
The Taj Mahal is the result of a huge construction project that lasted more than 20 years (from 1631 to 1653). More than 20,000 people were involved in the construction of the mausoleum and surrounding garden. They come from many different places and bring with them unique skills and arts. They used 28 types of precious and semi-precious stones to inlay on the marble surface to create sophisticated and luxurious patterns.
Taj Mahal is an artistic masterpiece that makes everyone amazed by the sophistication of the temple. From stone pillars inlaid with sparkling jade to beautiful patterned carpets, everything is meticulously cared for. The lotus-shaped dome is the highlight of the building with brilliant gilded motifs. On the wall, verses from the Koran are artistically carved to show Shah Jahan's respect for Islam.
The builders of the Taj Mahal showed great talent and creativity, making every detail harmonious and lively. The king and queen's mausoleum located in the center is made of pure white marble. This is Shah Jahan's unique choice as previous Mughal works often used red sandstone. White marble inlaid with semi-precious stones created a beauty that no other construction has been able to imitate until now.
This temple is a symbol of eternal love that has made many people admire and move. This work was built based on the love of Emperor Shah Jahan and Queen Mumtaz Mahal, who sacrificed her life to give birth to his 14th child. After his wife died, the emperor was in so much pain that his hair turned white overnight. Before her death, the queen wished for a mausoleum to remember their love. The Emperor fulfilled that wish by building the Taj Mahal - a unique and splendid architectural work. He personally supervised the construction process to ensure that everything was perfect for his beloved wife. After 22 years, the Taj Mahal was completed and became a testament to the great love between two people.
To get the best experience, you should come here at dawn when the bright golden sunlight shines on the pure white of the marble. This is an experience that MIA.vn is sure you will not want to miss.
