The Taj Mahal in India

Male One of the crowd Jews of Muslim architecture, India’s Taj Mahal is a universally admired masterpiece that combines elements of the Indian, Islamic, Persian and Turkish designs style into one of the world’s seven wonders. And all inspiring sided any hour at sun rise particularly so. Completed in 1648, the Taj Mahal is also a love story of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. Female: There was a market known as Mina Bazaar, a market with a lady to sell the pinks. She was buying some clothes, jewelries and the king he was passing from this place that would love equipment. So 19-year-old girl fall in love to the king and happy, they spend 20 years of their modern life. And Melinda is 20 years. She had 14 children. And that was the reason she died at age of 41. So if you expect a Taj Mahal like this, you want to have your footage until 20 years, forget it. I don’t know. So this is the hall, the one hasn’t got it because that puts a wish of a lady to have something unique so that people should remember the love for them. Male: Over 10,000 visited the Taj Mahal everyday, a moving experience each will remember. And if they have a romantic like anew as guy and appreciation for the Taj Mahal love story. Female: So you can imagine how much a man can love that even after she passed, he wanted to give a comfort to her body. This is why the Taj is also known as the symbol of love. God itself means crown, Mahal means palace. So we have so many palaces in the wall. This is one the best having a huge dorm on the top. That’s the crown of this palace. So, this is the crown palace one from man made best palace in the whole world. I think you know like we have seven wonders. That is one of them and Taj got the crown. I think it’s worthwhile doing. So this is a wonder in front of you which is made by perfectly hand made, perfectly symmetrical. And the reason of that is because she wants something special. And according to the Koran, the Holy Book believed, the Muslim believed once you die, there would be build just may come but nobody knows when it took. But when the day comes, the God, he will decide. If you do something good, heaven, if not, go to hell. So the king has strongly believed whenever the day-come, my wife, she will be sent to the heaven. Of course, she is the queen. He can believe like that. So the king, he believed that whenever the day come my wife and she will be sent to the heaven but until that day come, he want to clear to heaven on the earth. And the Koran, the Holy Book, they had described about the heaven. This is heaven will be having a huge entrance door. There will be beautiful garden, fountains, water channel, place to us, place to play. And the way it describe he want to play the heaven in exactly on year which the Koran says. So we are right now, heaven or not. This wall defended water channel, the present whole river. Honey, milk or water, so each fountain that’s water channel, the present wonder river, the central found that plasma bear in the oil and beach with lots of water to give you the illusion of heaven on the earth. That’s the place where she’s resting and that’s the place almost where she can do to play. So according to the Koran, according to the Holy Book, he had written this heaven on the earth. So whatever the time we are going to spend, this is heaven on the earth. Now, what you called the tower, which are in four corners seemed to be like straight but they’re not, just leaning out to the tower. It has been new things done, cause nothing that should not happen, any kind of natural disaster like flood whatever. Even the marble, whatever you are familiar, it’s the local marble. It is broaden approximately about 400 kilometers far from here. The place is name Makrana, so this is called the Indian Makrana Marble which is one of the best Marble in the whole world, having three colors. It is one of the hottest, strongest marble in the world. I think only that it’s explaining itself standing under a blue sky, so this is an example for that, winter, monsoon, no effect. Even you will find the steps, people are climbing thousands of them, more you will use modern chance. So there is no effect of that also. Second, it is translucent in a nature. That’s why keep on changing the color, the effect of life and the third and the quality it is not forest. It doesn’t eat. It doesn’t absorb. It is all created with the gem stones, semi-precious stone, onyx, jasper, like with those things which look like painting from a distance. This is not painting. These are all semi-precious stone, gem stone, different, different gem stones. The black one is onyx, jasper and all. So these are the places with the tacticians use to walk probably two years, 20,000 labors walks together. Male: Nearly 2000 direct dissidents of the original Taj Mahal craft’s men are still practicing their art like they’re doing in here, creating a variety of remarkable and lay pieces and marble. The glue incidentally is a secret recipe from the original artists who built the Taj which along with the art has been handed down from generation to generation. Female: No, we are in front of the Redford or the Agra Fort which was built by the third Mughal Emperor, Albert and they are 1567. And this place was about two kilometers of area but we are not going to see the whole path because 75 plus and this is for the army. When the British was ruling their army and the Mughal, their army and presently the Indian army, they got a separate entrance from that site. And this whole Fort is surrounded with them all because in the Orland base, many king they have adapted. So to protect from the enemies, this whole Fort is surrounded with the mark. They use to get the water from the river. You can see the chin in the police where the time of the war, they use to close that. So it becomes difficult for the enemies strengthened inside the palace. So what we are going to see is only about 20 persons, not even that because it comes in the world, this side, we have three, one is the Redford where we are standing. One of course is the Taj Mahal, that there’s again one on this side, one is farther which is about 39 kilometers far from here but that is in inaugural this week so we count the inaugurals, so we have three of them. But we have seven of them, you know, in India. So the restoration work is still going on. So what we can see is that 15 to 17 persons but still it’s huge. So it will give you the impression of the royal family. And here, among the seven, five of them Agra was the capital. So here, you can see a blend, the mixture of all the Mughal Emperors, so gems stone, painting, marble and all. So here, you can see all the Mughal Emperors that they like. So it’s a mixture and that’s light, keeps a very important rule in the ministry because among the seven, five of them, they rule from here. So, these places are very important rule. So inside, once we enter, it will give you the impression of the royal family. How livelihood they use to? The place where we’re standing, this is the same place known as the Vani-Um, the hall for the common people that the common people use to come with their problem. They use to stand all over. There is a platform through that arch where the king used to sit. The royal family of a midst, especially we’re not allowed to go outside the palace. So they used to get a city within the palace. So what they do? They used to sit behind the screen so that they can see the whole places without being seen them, so all the balls and the pillars where they like painting or the plaster has been done and then the painting. So that was done by the time of the fourth Mughal Emperor that is Jahangir. So he loves color. So you can imagine the floor with the beautiful hand coupled. You know Agra is the only city in India where we don’t have any factories left. We do have lots of iron foundries, where they used to make the gems sit it on that used to run by the chop board, which makes less of pollution. So when this was declared as it all, headed this side gold man, they have decided to remove all those factories and move it far from the Agra. People, they strike, they don’t like the idea because of course their lost their business. So the Supreme Court Central Gorman, everybody comes together and this is if you make any money, any kind of money by doing any kind of handy craft, you don’t have to take access and that’s the reason. Agra is the city where you buy any handy craft, we don’t take that accessible.
