The Taj Mahal, Agra, India

1) Agra, once the capital of the Mughal Empire during the 16^th and early 18^th centuries, is one and a half hours by express train from New Delhi. Tourists from all over the world visit Agra (1) to make a pilgrimage to Taj Mahal, India`s most famous architectural wonder. Taj Mahal means “Crown Palace” and is in fact the most well (2) preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world.

2) Taj Mahal stands on the bank of River Yamuna, which otherwise serves as a wide moat (3) defending the Great Red Fort of Agra, the centre of the Mughal emperors until they moved their capital to Delhi in 1637. It was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while (4) accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a campaign to crush a rebellion after (5) giving birth to their 14^th child. The ruler went into deep mourning. The death so crushed the emperor that all his hair and beard were said (6) to have grown snow white in a few months.

3) When Mumtaz was still alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he would build “a tomb in her memory such as the world had never (7) seen before"; second that he should marry again; third, that he would be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants (8) to transport it to the site. Some 20,000 workmen (9) employed on it daily lived in a specially built small town next to it called “Mumtazabad” for the dead empress.

4) The central dome is 57 meters, or 187 feet, high in the middle. A total of 28 beautiful stones were used: red sandstone was brought from Fatehpur Sikri, jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China, turquoise from Tibet, lapis lazuli and sapphire from Sri Lanka, coal and cornelian from Arabia and diamonds from Panna. The luminescent white marble was brought from far-off Makrana, Rajasthan. Nearly every surface of the entire complex has been (10) decorated, and the exterior decorations are among the finest (11) to be found in Mughal architecture of any period. The rectangular base of Taj is in itself symbolic of the different sides from which to view a beautiful woman. The main gate is like a veil to a woman’s face which should (12) be lifted delicately, gently and without haste on the wedding night.

5) The dome is made of white marble, but the tomb is set against the plain across the river and it is this background that works its magic of colors that, through their reflection, change the view of the Taj. The colours change at different hours of the day and during different seasons. Like a jewel, the Taj sparkles in moonlight when the semi-precious stones (13) inlaid into the white marble on the main mausoleum catch the glow of the moon. The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the moon shines. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of woman.

6) The emperor, later (14) buried in the Taj, was overthrown by his son and imprisoned in the nearby Great Red Fort for eight years, from which, it is said, he could see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window. The origin of the name "Taj Mahal" is not clear. It is generally (15) believed that "Taj Mahal" (usually translated as either "Crown Palace" or "Crown of the Palace") is an abbreviated version of Mumtaz name.
