 The
exquisite Taj Mahal in Agra, India is sheer magic in white
marble that commemorates everlasting affection and love
of a lovelorn Mughal emperor for his beloved.
A tribute to beauty the Taj Mahal in Agra, India was constructed
to keep a promise that was made by the Mughal emperor
Shah Jahan to his wife Mumtaz Mahal who expressed her
last dying wish to the distraught Shah Jahan to build
her a memorial that would be the ultimate dedication to
unparalled love in the entire world.
Lovers, poets, painters, artists, authors treat the
Taj Mahal as the 'temple of love,' and have been inspired
to create artistic expressions of love that exhort the
unspoken, unexpressed and unacknowledged desires within
ones heart to come out in the open in glorious celebration
of life.
True to his promise, Emperor Shah Jahan diverted all
his energies to the conception, design and architecture
of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India that is to date one
of the most revered memorials in the world.
It took more than 22 years to create the majestic Taj
Mahal in pure white marble and the cost of construction
drained the Mughal state treasury of more than 32 million
rupees. Each marble block was carted to Agra from Makrana
in Rajasthan, India and more than 20 thousand workers
utilized their artistic acumen to the optimum to breathe
life into these marble blocks that took the shape of
the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal in Agra, India is amongst the Seven Wonders
of the World, and is still unrivalled in beauty the
world over.
The purity of the white marble is such that the Taj
reflects the sunlight and seems to blend in with the
moods of the sun rays during the different phases of
the day, such that it appears yellow in the mornings
and changes its hues to sparkling white in the day and
a light pink in the twilight dust. The sight of the
Taj Mahal in Agra, India in full moon light is completely
breathtaking.
