Answer 2

It's a mausoleum built by mughal emperor Sjah Jahan in honor of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. It is on the Unesco world Heritage list and i think it was recently voted as one of the New Wonders of the World. And I think it belongs there, cause this is a building that was built out of love and it shows. The dome is absolutely magnificent, with it's lotus shape. The perfect symmetry of the building and the decorations, both inside and outside are perfect. For something that's more then 300y old it's still as beautiful as it was then. The Mughal spent his last years as a prisoner, just looking at the building as a symbol of his love for his wife.
The need of the Taj is to give to people a place to be together forever. To be a symbol. A symbol of love and devotion. Something that makes people stand still and think about life. To inspire people and give them hope. That's what this building does. That's why you need it.

There never was a black copy. The mughal was obsessed with symmetry. On the other side of the river there used to be a big garden with a pool. Here the Mughal would sit down and the reflection of the taj mahal on the water in the pond would be black. You have to admit that's pretty ingenious.

Answer 3

Why do we cherish the memoiries of our forefathers? They may be something to be proud of for us to bask in the departing rays of the sun which has already reached the setting point or even had set. But even if they are memories of a scorching minday sun we remember them as outposts which we have to guard against in our march.

Whichever way we see it The Taj is a monument to be remembered and cherished. There has been no constructing even remotely comparing with The Taj inthe world. The RadhaSwami Satsang has been endeavouring to build one in the vicinity for the last over forty years to cherish the memory of their founder have not been able to do it. Lord Curzon tried to construxct a Victoria Mahal for the Empress at Calcutta but it came down within ten years. Even the Emperor Shah Jahan could not duplicate it in black marble which stnds on the opposite bank of the Yamuna in a half-finished state.The Taj took t wenty years to build and a huge welth to proceure al th marbles from Macrana and thei transport across to India. Even if the engineer was an Iranian the construction labour was Indian and it is a stranding monument to the labour of India. If for nothing else then
to cheirh the long toil of our Indian labourer we should cherish it.Unfortunately ,like the Pyramids, we do not have remnants of the huts of the workers anywhere near The Taj or we would have marekd them for our visits.

This is as far as the positive aspect of the building. It has also a poignant association for the technical and physical labour that went into it. The Mughal Emperor ,jealous that the engineer may construct another building to compete with The Taj ordered that his hands should be cut off.The Engineer helpless before the Empeior only asked him to spare him for some time. as he wanted to give it the finishing touches.The Emperor gave in. The Engineer bore one imdperceptible hole in the dome.The rain water seeping through it drips on the 'kabra' of Mumtaz. The Engineer had already been executed. Inspite of the Emperor's herculean efforts he coud not stop the leakage and the dome is leaking even to this day-----drip,drip,drip on the 'kabr'.

Now on the negative side

Prof.P.N.Oak has propounded in a book that The Taj was in fact never constructed by Shah Jehan but already existed long before he was even born. It was then known as Tajo Mahal and belonged to a Rajput king.who had been defeated.Prof. Oak points out in support that ,despte all the long time and expences . went into its construction NO ACCOUNT of the expences appears anywhere inthe Mughal records. I have seen photos purported to be of the underground rooms inthe Tajo Mahal. A monument even of a dead Empress hardly needs any such underground constructions. It is,therefore, quite likely that it was indeed a Mahal of a Rajput king as Mughal records show that it was quite routine for the emperors to usur; such palatial buildings of the conquered kings.Even if it were so The Taj is a memorable and revered construction for us Indians

Do you know that Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India had mooted a proposal to pull down The Tah and sell of the valuable marbles. Fortunately, the economic difficultuies which had goaded him to take this drastic step;withered away and The Taj survived.Have you not read about the threats held out by the terrorists to pull down The Taj by explosions. This means they also think that it is a construction of which India is proud of.Do you need any more certificate for the memorabuility of The Taj.

Answer 9

Great tourist attraction, have you read the history of the place??
I mean the real history, not the BS about it being built as a memorial for the favorite wife, check it out I'll give you a clue :- There are ruins of a black copy not far from the white one.

Answer 10

It was built as a monument. It is a mausoleum that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Answer 11

to inspire architects to build more awesome buildings like that but other than that fact there isn't much of anything else. sadly an old grandmas body 's inside and for that purpose a grandpa built it. u know there would have been a black one just like that next to it but then the grandpa's son put him in prison so he couldn't build it so just be happy we ended up with only one taj mahal.

but he basically wanted to build a replica of heaven and god's throne in heaven so that his wife can rest in peace in a place just like the god's throne in paradise.
