What is the origin and historical background of the Taj Mahal in India?

Tagore said that the Taj Mahal was "a tear on the eternal cheek".

Agiman Banu is a beautiful, intelligent and versatile Persian woman. In the palace 19, she witnessed the battle of honor and disgrace of Shah Jahan with her own life.

Shah Jahan named her Taj Mahal, which means "Crown". It can be said that there are three thousand favorites in one. Regrettably, both at home and abroad, the Taj Mahal has lived in poverty since ancient times. She died after giving birth to her 14 child. When the news of Sha's death came, his face turned pale overnight.

So, a sad husband, taking advantage of the royal privilege, devoted himself to the strength of the whole country, spent countless money and spent 22 years writing this magnificent song for his wife. As the famous American writer Mark Twain said, the power of love shocked everyone present.

1632, the Taj Mahal was built in a big garden at the corner of yamuna river in northern India, which was chosen by Sha. Located in the lower reaches of Yamuna River, it is very spacious. Shakan can be seen from the upper reaches of Agra Castle.

Architecture and jewelry are sand's favorites. Therefore, he chose marble to build the Taj Mahal and decorated it with countless gems.

More than 20,000 architects, mosaic artists, calligraphers, sculptors and masons from Persia, Turkey and Baghdad participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal. The project uses domestic marble, China gemstones, crystals, jadeite, Baghdad and Yemeni agates, Sri Lankan gemstones and Arabian corals.

1653 (or 1654), the Taj Mahal was completed. Today, it has a history of more than 300 years, but its brilliance and style have not changed.

Extended data:

The Taj Mahal represents the pinnacle of Mughal architectural achievements. This style of mausoleum stands on a pedestal decorated with a lighthouse, and people have the same reverence for it as they do for a mosque. This style of memorial mausoleum developed in northern India and disappeared with it.

Technical achievements of the Taj Mahal in India;

1. The overall layout of the building complex is perfect: the layout is simple, and the mausoleum is the only composition center.

2. The mausoleum is solemn and clear, and the composition is steady and stretching: the abutment is wide and roughly square-tapered with the main body, but the four towers make the outline of the heald ethereal and intersect with the blue sky.

4. Clever use of the law of unity of opposites in composition: the square shape of the mausoleum is in sharp contrast with the circular dome in shape.

The Taj Mahal was also named as one of the "50 places to visit in one's life" by National Geographic Traveler magazine, and it is an immortal "world miracle" created by human beings.
