The mystery of the immense beauty of the Taj Mahal


The Taj Mahal is one of the finest structures in the Mughal Empire.

.
Why just the Mughal Empire, one of the best installations in the world- one of the wonders of the world and at the same time mysterious! Come, today I know the secret of the infinite beauty of the Taj Mahal! It is said that on his deathbed, Mumtaz Mahal informed Shah Jahan as his last wish that he be buried in a tomb whose beauty would be admired by people all over the world. Although it is not known for sure whether Mumtaz Mahal really expressed such a wish at the last moment, it is safe to say that Emperor Shah Jahan was impossibly affected by this sudden death.

After Mumtaz Mahal's death, he voluntarily spent a year in solitary confinement in the Rajya Sabha and remembered his beloved. To keep the memory of his beloved forever, he decided to build a tomb that the people of the world had never seen before, which even the most powerful man of the age would dare to dare to build. Shahjahan adopted a master plan to build the Taj Mahal in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, the palace that will be the 'crown' of all the palaces in the world. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1832. The construction of the Taj Mahal was finally completed in 1853, after 21 years of relentless efforts by 20,000 workers, although it took only 10 years to build the main structure. The rest of the era was spent on marble work and the construction of other installations in the Taj Mahal complex.

About 1,000 elephants were employed to transport the goods. The white marble was brought from Makran in Rajasthan, about 400 km from Agra. In addition, 29 types of precious and relatively low-value stones were used for the mosaic of the Taj Mahal, which were brought from as far away as Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Tibet, Arabia and India. According to most researchers, the chief architect of the Taj Mahal was Ustad Ahmad Lahori of Persian descent, although many have claimed that Ustad Isa Siraj was the chief architect of the Taj Mahal. However, court documents and written descriptions of Ustad Ahmad Lahori's legacy indicate that Ustad Ahmed's weight was heavier. On the other hand, the architect of the huge dome of the Taj Mahal was Ismail Efendi, an Ottoman dome expert.

Do you know the biggest secret of Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal in the morning, Taj Mahal in the afternoon, Taj Mahal in the twilight, Taj Mahal at night or moonlit night but not the same, different! In the golden sun of the morning, the atmosphere of joy that is created in the Taj Mahal, when it falls in the western sky at dusk, that joy is transformed into the pain of separation. And if one ignores the description of the heavenly beauty of the Taj Mahal at night, the Taj Mahal episode will remain incomplete. It may not be possible to describe the unearthly scene of the Taj Mahal on a moonlit night with the help of any literature. He has to enjoy the scene with the power of feeling.

Optical Illusion has been cleverly used in the Taj Mahal. Upon entering, you can see the Taj Mahal through a huge archway, and suddenly the Taj Mahal in the main courtyard looks huge. So no matter how much preparation you go to see the Taj Mahal, the enormity of the Taj Mahal will fascinate you. Also the four minarets of the Taj Mahal are slightly tilted towards the outside. As a result, the minarets look straight. Another huge advantage of this is that the minarets are less likely to fall on the main Taj Mahal if the earthquake collapses due to a slight tilt to the outside. As a result, the tomb of the emperor's beloved Mumtaz will remain intact. On the other hand, when you leave the Taj Mahal and look through the main gate, it seems that the Taj Mahal is slowly getting bigger. Here, too, the subtle miracle of optical illusion has been used.
So many people say that when they leave, the visitors take the Taj Mahal in their hearts. One of the most popular ideas about the Taj Mahal is that after the construction of the Taj Mahal, Emperor Shah Jahan cut off the wrists of its designers and architects so that no one could ever build the Taj Mahal again. It is said that Shah Jahan wanted to build another black tomb exactly like the Taj Mahal on the other side of the river Jamuna, which is popularly known as Kalataj. But he could not carry out the plan as his son Aurangzeb had ousted him earlier. In fact, the Mughal period of mystery, Akbar-Jahangir-Shahjahan-Aurangzeb! If you do not say the end of Shahjahan writing will be incomplete!

His son Aurangzeb deposed him and placed him under house arrest at Agra Fort to save the Mughal Empire from imminent collapse, which was burdened by Shahjahan's luxurious lifestyle and all the more ambitious master plans. Aurangzeb himself may never be able to avoid criticism for his harshness towards his father and brothers and for his more inflexible policy than the previous Mughals. But historians do not disagree that he was the last Great Mughal.
Because within half a century after his death, the Mughal Empire collapsed like a sand dam. Whatever he was, Shahjahan lived another 6 years after he was ousted. In those captive days he could see from the roof of the castle the greatest glory of his life. During the last afternoon's separation, the sad melody of Priyahara's pain might have sounded in his heart. Her eyes might glaze over as she recalls the days of youthful love. After his death, Shah Jahan was buried with Mumtaz Mahal inside the dream Taj Mahal. Every year more than half a crore tourists from different parts of the world come to visit the Taj Mahal! I would say not to see the Taj Mahal, they come and look with fascinated eyes a morning, an afternoon, a twilight or a full moon.
