The Taj Mahal - Mausoleum Immortal Love




The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum. In her dying breath, Mumtaz Mahal urged Shah Jahan to build a mausoleum for her, more beautiful than any the world had seen before. Shah Jahan granted his wife's wish, and construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, one year after her death. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal. The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later.*****The information I took from Wikipedia.*****

  3. Hi Gabriela
    It's notthing wrong about the information taken from Wipipedia. But theres is big thuth hidden and historian always lied to cover what was before invasion and mass distruction of Hindu's way of life.
    I have donne some research and after some clarification , I was astonish how they can do that to blind fold the truth.
    Have a nice day.

  12. Szia Gabika!
    Képzeld el, én láttam Klágenfurtban a Minimundusban a Taj Mahal kicsinyített mását. :-)
    Sajnos az eredetit nem láttam.
    Mindig meghatódom, ha ezt az épületet látom, mert különösen szép a róla szóló történet.
    Ezek a képek pedig csodálatosak, rendkívül gyönyörű felvételek!
    Nagyon szépen köszönöm, hogy megosztottad velünk.
    Örülök, hogy erre jártam!
    Puszi :-)
