A Shrine of Love
Taj Mahal was known of a shrine of love. The Mughal Emperor Shahjahan ordered Taj Mahal built in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died only a few minutes after giving birth to her fourteenth child, a daughter. The final request of his wife was for him not to marry again and prove their endless love by building a dreamlike beautiful mausoleum.Taj mahal was built in 22 years (1631-1653) it was dedicated to Mumtaz Mahal (Arjumand Bano Begum), the wife of Shahjahan. 20,000 workers labored during the construction of the monument and it was built according to Islamic architecture. It is one of the Unesco world heritage site and one of the most beautiful and costly tombs in the world. Taj Mahal is taken from the name Mumtaz Mahal.
This was my 1st view of the magnificent Taj Mahal... Upon entering the door to Taj Mahal garden, I shed a tear after looking at the most beautiful building right before me... Betul2 nampak macam palace yang portrayed in all the fairy tales I have grown up with... Cantik sangat2... I was told that it was designed by an architect from Turkey. But the buildings I saw at Istanbul are nothing like Taj Mahal... The tomb is encased in white
marble which is decorated with flawless sculptures and inlaid design
of flowers and calligraphy cut from precious gems.
The building was built flawlessly proportionate, and built almost entirely out of marble. Masya' Allah...
Tengok ni , kitorang sempat lagi acting cerita Bollywood depan Taj Mahal...
Ni aksi kanak-kanak riang yang tersangatlah excited dapat jejak Taj Mahal...
