Mausoleo Taj Mahal. EtymologyInspirationArchitecture and DesignConstructionLater DaysThreatsTourismMythsControversiesGalleryAbdul Hamid Lahauri in his book from 1636 Padshahnama refers to the Taj Mahal as rauzai munawwara (PersoArabic روضه منواره rawdahi munawwarah) meaning the illumined or illustrious tombThe current name for the Taj Mahal is believed to derived from the Persian تاج محل tāj mahall meaning “crown” (tāj) “palace” (mahall) The name may have been chosen in honor of Mumtaz Mahal for whom Shah Jahan built the mausoleum with “Mahal” being her last name and “Taj” possibly being a contemporary abbreviation of the name Mumtaz The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631 to be built in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died on 17 June that year while giving birth to their 14th child Gauhara Begum Construction started in 1632 and the mausoleum was completed in 1648 while the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years laterThe imperial court documenting Shah Jahan's grief after the death of Mumtaz Mahal illustrates the love story held as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of IndoIslamic and earlier Mughal architecture Specific inspiration came from successful Timurid and Mughal buildings including the Gure Amir (the tomb of Timur progenitor of the Mughal dynasty in Samarkand) Humayun's Tomb which inspired the Charbagh gardens and hashtbehesht (architecture) plan of the site ItmadUdDaulah's Tomb (sometimes called the Baby Taj) and Shah Jahan's own Jama Masjid in Delhi While earlier Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of red sandstone Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semiprecious stones Buildings under his patronage reached new levels of refinement The Taj Mahal is built on a parcel of land to the south of the walled city of Agra Shah Jahan presented Maharajah Jai Singh with a large palace in the centre of Agra in exchange for the land An area of roughly 12 hectares (3 acres) was excavated filled with dirt to reduce seepage and levelled at 50 metres (160 ft) above riverbank In the tomb area wells were dug and filled with stone and rubble to form the footings of the tomb Instead of lashed bamboo workmen constructed a colossal brick scaffold that mirrored the tomb The scaffold was so enormous that foremen estimated it would take years to dismantle The Taj Mahal was constructed using materials from all over India and Asia It is believed over 1000 elephants were used to transport building materials It took the efforts of 22000 labourers painters embroidery artists and stonecutters to shape the Taj Mahal The translucent white marble was brought from Makrana Rajasthan the jasper from Punjab jade and crystal from Soon after the Taj Mahal's completion Shah Jahan was deposed by his son Aurangzeb and put under house arrest at nearby Agra Fort Upon Shah Jahan's death Aurangzeb buried him in the mausoleum next to his wife In the 18th century the Jat rulers of Bharatpurinvaded Agra and attacked the Taj Mahal They took away the two chandeliers one of agate and another of silver which were hung over the main cenotaph they also took the gold and silver screen Kanbo a Mughal historian said the gold shield which covered the 46metrehigh (15 ft) finial at the top of the main dome was also removed during the Jat despoliation By the late 19th century parts of the buildings had fallen into disrepair At the end of the 19th century British viceroy Lord Curzon ordered a sweeping restoration project which was completed in 1908 He also commissioned the large lamp in the interior chamber modelled after one in a Cairo mosque During this time the garden was remodelled with Europeanstyle lawn In 1942 the government erected scaffolding to disguise the building in anticipation of air attacks by the Japanese Air Force During the IndiaPakistan warsof 1965 and 1971 scaffolding was again erected to mislead bomber pilots More recent threats have come from environmental pollution on the banks of the Yamuna River including acid rain due to the Mathura Oil Refinery which was opposed by Supreme Court of India directives The pollution has been turning the Taj Mahal yellowbrownTo help control the pollution the Indian government has set up the “Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ)” a 10400squarekilometre (4000 sq mi) area around the monument where strict emissions standards are in place Concerns for the tomb's structural integrity have recently been raised because of a decline in the groundwater level in the Yamuna riverbasin which is falling at a rate of around 15 m (5 ft) per year In 2010 cracks appeared in parts of the tomb and the minarets which surround the monument were The Taj Mahal attracts a large number of tourists UNESCO documented more than 2 million visitors in 2001 which had increased to about 7–8 million in 2014 A twotier pricing system is in place with a significantly lower entrance fee for Indian citizens and a more expensive one for foreigners In 2018 the fee for Indian citizens was ₹50 for foreign tourists ₹1100 Most tourists visit in the cooler months of October November and February Polluting traffic is not allowed near the complex and tourists must either walk from parking areas or catch an electric bus The Khawasspuras (northern courtyards) are currently being restored for use as a new visitor centre In 2019 in order to address overtourism the site instituted fines for visitors who stayed longer than three hours The small town to the south of the Taj known as Taj Ganji or Mumtazabad was initially constructed with caravanserais bazaars and markets to serve the needs of visitors and workers Lists of recommended t Ever since its construction the building has been the source of an admiration transcending culture and geography and so personal and emotional responses have consistently eclipsed scholastic appraisals of the monument A longstanding myth holds that Shah Jahan planned a mausoleum to be built in black marble as a Black Taj Mahal across the Yamuna river The idea originates from fanciful writings of JeanBaptiste Tavernier a European traveller who visited Agra in 1665 It was suggested that his son Aurangzeb overthrew Shah Jahan before it could be built Ruins of blackened marble across the river in the Mehtab Bagh seemed to support this legend However excavations carried out in the 1990s found that they were discoloured white stones that had turned black A more credible theory for the origins of the black mausoleum was demonstrated in 2006 by archaeologists who reconstructed part of the pool in the Mehtab Bagh A dark reflection of the white mausoleum could clearly be seen be As of 2017 several court cases about Taj Mahal being a Hindu temple have been inspired by P N Oak's theory In August 2017 Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) stated there was no evidence to suggest the monument ever housed a temple Bharatiya Janata Party's Vinay Katiyar in 2017 claimed that the 17th century monument was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan after destroying a Hindu temple called “Tejo Mahalaya” and it housed a Shiva linga This claim had also been made by another BJP member Laxmikant Bajpai in 2014 The BJP government's union minister of culture Mahesh Sharmastated in November 2015 during a session of the parliament that there was no evidence that it was a temple The theories about Taj Mahal being a Shiva temple started circulating when Oak released his 1989 book “Taj Mahal The True Story” He claimed it was built in 1155 AD and not in the 17th century as stated by the ASI A controversy was created in 2017 when the Uttar Pradesh government did not include i Taj MahalEastern view in the morningTaj Mahal in cloudy weather and its minaret under

The Mausoleum A White Marble CaseA Symmetry Tested by MathematiciansProportionsThe Style of Taj MahalDecorationsSome Elements That Compose ItThe white marble mausoleum is what anyone who knows the Taj Mahal that is a good part of the planet thinks In fact it is not completely marble contrary to what the legendwants It is made of red sandstone bricks like many buildings in the area and as are the other monuments of the complex Sandstone is a rock from the aggregation of sand It can be a very hard rock but here it is of a standard hardness so it can corrode It is just as much to protect it as to embellish it that the manufacturer has made it cover with white marble plates This white color is therefore only a plating the Taj Mahal is not built in block marble If white was chosen for its beauty it was also for its ability to capture the color of the sky and its environment So depending on the time of day you will see it red orange tending towards blue purple or with green reflections The mausoleum takes all these colors indistinctly and it is common to say that it changes color at every turn This is The mausoleum was designed on the basis of a symmetrical plan Symmetry among the Mughals was very important it meant order rigor precision perfection This is why the imagery of Paradise is associated with the perfect symmetry of things as the Qur'an quotes it And the Mughals let us not forget were above all Muslims even if the first 5 emperors those who made the greatness of this dynasty were little practicing and pronounced the religious opening (It was not the case of the 6th Aurangzeb who was very stake If in the minds of the Mughals symmetry is synonymous with perfection everything in the entourage of the Emperor should be symmetrical and even more so the mausoleum of the Emperor's wife when for her misfortune this one died in 1631 Her name was Mumtaz Mahal and her husband Shah Jahan decided to build him the most beautiful tomb that could exist Obviously this tomb had to be in the architectural tradition of the Mughals and the symmetry had to enter f Building a perfectly symmetrical monument is not so complex as that if one exempts both the imposing size of it the quality of its execution and the riches of which it has been trimmed On the other hand making a wellproportioned building is much more difficult especially since at the time of its construction (16311653) there were few means of simulation The very form of the Taj Mahal is quite original as it was infrequent to have to build such a large building Its size allowed fancies like putting 12 secondary iwans to the 4 main ones but it is its proportion between the width of the sides and its height which is most original Usually the members of the Mughal nobility had built lower mausoleums the proportion of which made them closer to the ground less airy The domes which were frequent could not make them so high At the Taj Mahal on the contrary it is the whole monument that grows towards the sky the dome only bringing an additional “arrow” much like the G The style of the Taj Mahal is special it's actually a mix It is at the crossroads of Persian Islamic and Indian architectures and there are specific reasons for that It was built between 1631 and 1653 by Shah Jahan The latter was a Mughal emperor a dynasty ruler over India from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century but its founder Bâbur came from a TurkishMongolian family He is Muslim by his father but had Mongolian blood from his mother a descendant of Genghis Khan himself When Islam spread from the eighth century it brought with it an architectural style of Arab civilizations inherited by Babur His descendants having forcibly colonized northern India before colonizing all of India had to adapt to the conquered peoples mostly Hindus Sikhs and Rajputs but also Bengalis Afghans etc Most of them were Hindu and were able to keep their traditions their religions without this posing too many problems to the various emperors reluctant to impose Islam on their The facades of the Taj Mahal are very accurately decorated with incrustations and a lapidary marquetry mainly in marble The motifs are repeated face to face all around the building There is never anthropomorphic representation it is due to the rejection of such representations by Islam As a result the motifs are essentially floral plant abstract or calligraphic It is an abstract pattern that is the most used the chevron It is essentially to join the different elements between them When the size of the surface changes for example inside an iwan the patterns are not adapted they are just reproportionnés It means they are identical just a little smaller Inlays are mostly black marble but it can also be jade Note that the highest inscriptions are substantially wider than those at the bottom to keep the writing scale Some of these decorations are not incrustations sometimes there are basreliefs stucco and more rarely paint A fairly detailed study of the Taj Ma The balustrade The balustrade is in the main bedroom inside the Taj Mahal This room is octagonal with regular sides In the center are the cenotaphs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahân To protect them they are surrounded by a balustrade whose quality of execution is of a rare example It is also octagonal arranged to follow the sides of the room Each pan is 8m long and 1m20 high It is marble carved Each element is an interlacing of floral motifs first cut by hand then polished to a smooth glossy appe The facade If the mausoleum of the Taj Mahal looks so pretty it is obviously for its facades because it is they that we think as soon as we think of the monument The facades of the mausoleum are characteristic in several points First of all we must know that they are perfectly symmetrical since the building itself is a model of symmetry Each facade is identical to its neighbor with the notable exception of 1 The calligraphy inscription which differs from face to face 2 The stairway to the ro The main bedroom The interior of the mausoleum of the Taj Mahal consists of a main room central 4 secondary rooms per floor and 4 intermediate rooms The master bedroom is by far the most interesting because it is the largest the tallest the most impressive and is the one for which visitors have the most interest It must be said that there is only in this one that there is something to see the others being empty rooms The interior layout of the Taj Mahal is as much symmetrical as the exterior The cen.
