As Taj Mahal is to India …. this country’s most famous architectural wonder so is the Statue of Liberty to America, the pyramids to Egypt and the leaning tower of Pisa to Itlay. | | Taj Mahal`A materialized vision of loveliness’; `A poem in stone’; `A dream inmarble’; `A Noble Tribute to the Grace of Indian womanhood’; `A Resplendent immortal Tear-drop on the cheek of Time’; `A monument of Love’; `A wonder of the world’; the Taj Mahal is representative of the glorious Mughal Age and is a unique gift of the medieval period to the people of India. | The Taj, a marvel among buildings, belongs to an age when leisure added zest to living and appreciation was meant to be savoured slowly. Discovering the secrets of the Taj is like discovering the different moods of a woman, for it not only changes colour according to the time of the day but also with every change in the season. The Taj sparkles like a jewel at night; golden, as the semi-precious inlaid stones on the main mausoleum catch the glow of moon and silver ,as the light of full moon shines upon the cool,white dome.Though the extreme magnificence and beauty of the Taj can be appreciated best in the subtle moonlight , the radiance of dawn and the orange glow of the sunset also illumine the splendour of this most beautiful monument,rendering it pinkish in the morning and milky white in the evening.Its stunning architectural beauty is said to have a life of its own,a life that leaps out of the marble.
| Universally, it is one of man’s proudest creations and easily the most familiar image to be associated with the rich civilization and magnificent edifices of India.It marks the highest stage in the evolution of Tomb not only in India but also in the whole world. Among sepulchral monuments,it is the most brilliant and the most successful achievement.It is here that the art capabilities of the Indian builder under the Mughals received the most beautiful and profound expression. It is the culmination of the art-epoch which really derived deep inspiration from the ancient Indian architectural traditions which guided the aesthetic norms in all ages whether under the Jaina, Buddhist, Brahmanical or Muslim patrons. The Taj in all its glory was, is and will always remain the yardstick of measure for all great episodes of time.
