Taj Mahal, the full name of Taj Mahal, is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, more than 200 kilometers away from New Delhi. It was built by Shah Han Jia, the emperor of the Mughal Empire of India, in memory of his beloved princess in Agra from 163 1 to 1653.
The Taj Mahal is a wonder of the world. It consists of a hall, a bell tower, a minaret and a pool. It is all made of pure white marble and inlaid with glass and agate. It has high artistic value, shows superb architectural design level and embodies the best architectural art and style.
It is said that after the completion of the mausoleum, the Mughal emperor Shah Han Jia ordered the builder's hand to be cut off to ensure the uniqueness of the Taj Mahal. The building is dignified and magnificent, and the minaret leans slightly outward to avoid the minaret falling down and damaging the dome during the earthquake.
Extended data:
The owner of the Taj Mahal is Ajman Banu, the second wife of Shah Han Jia, the Mughal emperor. 163 1 year, Ajman Banu died of puerperal fever when following Shah Jahan's southern sign, at the age of 39. In 18 years after her marriage, * * * gave birth to 14 children for Shah Jahan. Only four men and three women survived.
The death of Ajman Banu broke Sha Han Jia's heart. He decided to build the most beautiful mausoleum in the world for his favorite princess to express his feelings for her. At the same time, the court was ordered to mourn for her for two years and prohibit all entertainment activities.
1633, the construction of the Taj Mahal began in the big garden at the corner of yamuna river in northern India selected by Shah Hanjia. Located in the lower reaches of Yamuna River, it is very empty, and Shahanjia can be seen from Agra Castle in the upper reaches of the river.
Marble and jewelry are Sha Han Jia's favorite, so he chose marble to build the Taj Mahal and ordered people to decorate it with countless gems and exquisite craftsmanship.
India and architects, mosaic artists, calligraphers, sculptors and bricklayers from Persia, Turkey and Arabia participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal.
In this project, Indian marble, emeralds, crystals and jade from China, agates from Baghdad and Yemen, Sri Lankan gems and Arabian corals were selected.
Shortly after the Taj Mahal was completed, a bloody war broke out in the Mughal Empire. The four sons of Sha Han Jia and Ajman fought for the throne. Finally, aurangzeb, the third prince, killed Prince Dalashuko and Murad, the fourth prince, expelled Shujia, the second prince, deposed Shahanjia and became the emperor.
Sha Han Jia was imprisoned in Agra Castle by aurangzeb, and lived by watching the Taj Mahal from a distance every day until she died of grief. He was buried in the Taj Mahal after his death, and the coffin was placed next to the Taj Mahal's coffin. The Taj Mahal is a great monument to love. It is a witness of the love of a generation of kings and tells their love stories to the world.
