Taz Mahal In India

                   The Taj Mahal - Historical Place In India


Everybody knows the narrative of the Taj Mahal. One of the grand Moghul Emperors of India, Shah Jehan, built it when his favorite wife died. He lined over approximately all of India from 1628 to 1658 AD. His love for his wife is a romantic story that is like a goblin story.

Babur, a great Mongol king, occupied India in 1526 and recognized the Moghul Dynasty (Moghul refers to the Mongol conquerors of India). The first four emperors residential their power and set up a system of Government that integrated all Indians, Hindus and Muslims. Among them was Akbar, one of the actually great royals of all time. By the time Shah Jehan became emperor he could turn his mind more fully to intellectual activities too.


Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan
Emperor Shah Jehan was a good-looking man. He looked every shuffle a Prince. His wife, Mumtaz Mahal, was half Persian and was one of the loveliest women at the Moghul courtyard. ‘She had long black hair, flimsy eyebrows and skin like a lily.’ wrote one poet. But more than her prettiness, Mumtaz Mahal was a very good woman. She was an exceptional wife and mother. She was kind and helped hundreds of women in misery. She was loved by all and most of all by her husband.

Shah Jehan used to take a trip round his Empire a large agreement. Mumtaz Mahal for all time went with him, taking her three daughters and four sons with her. In actual fact each of her four sons was born while she was on a military operation with the Emperor.

Tombs of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal
When Mumtaz Mahal died, Emperor Shah Jehan wept for two months. He was brokenhearted. For two months he did not come out of his room. When he did come out he was a very gloomy man. He determined to built a burial chamber, that is a tomb, in her remembrance. He was going to place the body of Mumtaz Mahal contained by this tomb, which he hunted the whole world to respect.

He began work on the Taj Mahal. The architect of this construction of great beauty are unknown. Some people imagine they may have been Italians. Others think Shah Jehan got Persians to drawing this beautiful building.
The Taj Mahal took about 20 years to assemble. It is made of the deluxe white marble and the whole construction is luxuriously decorated. Precious stones were put into the outer walls, but these were ultimately stolen away. When the lamps were lit at night the gems would twinkle in the darkness. It was said to be the most attractive vision in the world.

 Shah Jehan useless too much money on the Taj Mahal. He exhausted money that could have been better used to promote the people of his empire. When the Taj Mahal was completed he laid the body of his wife inside and considered to build another tomb out of black marble for himself. This was the stature of folly. His son Aurangzeb incarcerated him and stopped up any further cost. When Shah Jehan was put into prison he was kept in a room in the Agra Fort which disregarded the Taj Mahal. From his prison room he could gaze upon the pretty building he had created. He died a few years after his incarceration, and was hidden in the Taj Mahal, near his dearly loved wife.

The Taj Mahal has been called ‘a poem in marble’. Without any distrust, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Expensive though it was, Mumtaz Mahal, his good and loyal queen, deserved her tombstone. And today the building is one of India’s maximum tourist attractions, providing a magnificent sight each year to thousands of Indians and foreigners. It is particularly beautiful by moonlight, and you are lucky if you can see it under a full moon. It is one of the most dramatic tourist attractions on earth.
