Its popularity makes it challenging to be different when one wishes to write about this monument of love that proudly stands in Agra. How different one could be? What else one could write apart from re-emphasizing the beauty of the Taj Mahal, the pietra dura work, the char bagh style gardens, the fine art work on marble, the changing colours of Taj Mahal as the sun changes its position.
Built more than 350 years ago, the Taj Mahal is symbol of love the world over. An exemplary example of an emperor’s love for his beloved queen, the Taj Mahal was built by Shahjahan, the Mughal emperor in memory of his beloved queen – Mumtaz Mahal.
The Taj Mahal and its beauty has been described often in different ways, some called it ‘A teardrop on the cheek of time’, some said ‘poetry in stone’ while others simply wrote ‘An emperor’s gift to his beloved queen. No matter how you choose to describe the Taj Mahal in Agra, the monument only increases one’s curiosity to see it.
Bill Clinton, the former President of the United States of America once on his visit to the Taj Mahal divided the world into two types of people - people who have seen the Taj and love it and there are others who have not seen the Taj and love it. This clearly sums up the power and beauty of the Taj Mahal. It simply meant that people are so overwhelmed by the beauty of the Taj and the fact that it was greatest monument of love ever built that we end up loving it without seeing it.
Love is regarded as the basis of all things good. Love, they say destroys all malice and love they say conquers all. And this what Taj Mahal stands for. It is the icon of eternal love.
