The Taj Mahal is situated in Agra and this city is a third biggest district of Uttar Pardesh. Agra was the favorite city of Mughal Empire that’s why earlier Mughals declared it as the capital of India but now Delhi is the Capital. According to History, Ibrahim Lodi developed Agra in 1504.

About Taj Mahal’s Design

The Designing sense and concept of the Taj Mahal is very Creative.The Concept of Tajmahal was inspired from Mughal buildings like the Gur-e Amir (the tomb of Timur in Samarkand), Humayun’s Tomb, Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb, and Shah Jahan’s own Jama Masjid in Delhi.

Sections of the Taj Mahal:

1. Tomb – There are two tombs in the Taj Mahal, one is for Shahjahan and other one is for Mumtaz.
2. Dome – The most creative feature is the marble dome that surmounts the tomb. The marble dome is nearly 35 meters. There is a gilded bronze made finial on the top of marble Dome. The top finial was originally made of gold, but it was replaced by a copy made of gilded bronze in the early 19th century. This top finial provides a clear example of integration of Persian tradition and Hindu decorative elements. The finial is topped by a moon, a typical Islamic motif whose horns points heavenward. It depicts like Lord Shiva’s Trident.

3. Four minarets(Towers) – The most important and safe side pillar of Tajmahal is four minarets and each one is more than 40 meters (130 ft) tall. The four minarets are constructed slightly outside so that at the time of collapse, a typical occurrence with many tall constructions of the period, the garbage material of the towers would tend to fall away from the tomb.

Taj Mahal, surrogate diamond of world is result of love and romantic passion of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.Every kid ,every adult and every old knows about the historical love of fifth Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan constructed this wonder in the memories of his legendary wife Mumtaz Mahal.Shah Jahan bought this land of Agra.He presented Maharajah Jai Singh with a large palace in the center of Agra in exchange for the land.Shas Jahan had completed its construction in 22 years.Interesting? yes na,ok Let’s discuss about this amazing love story from starting 1592 t0 1632.

Shah Jahan, initially named Prince Khurram, was born in the 1592.He was the son of Jehangir(Saleem) and the grandson of Akbar.When King Shah Jahan was 15, he was a naughty boy.One day he was walking with his friends and string of fawning courtiers in the Meena Bazaar,he caught a glimpse of a girl hawking silk and glass beads.It was love at first sight and the girl was Mumtaz Mahal, she initially named Arjumand Banu Begum at that time.At that time, he was 15 years old and she, a Muslim Persian princess, was 16. After meeting her, Shah Jahan went back to her father Abdul Hasan Asaf Khan(Mughal Empire’s Chief Minister) with marriage proposal and declared that he wanted to marry her.After five years i.e., in the year 1612 this lovely couple got married.

In the year 1628,Shah Jahan became the King and entrusted her with the royal seal. He had also given her a royal name Mumtaz Mahal, meaning the “Jewel of the Palace”. Though Shah Jahan had other wives also,his first wife is Kandahari Begum.Mumtaz Mahal was his favorite and accompanied him everywhere,even on military campaigns.They had 14 children and in the year 1631, when Mumtaz Mahal was giving birth to their 14th girl child Gauhara Begum in Burhanpur,she died due to some complications in delivery.While Mumtaz was on her deathbed, Shah Jahan promised her that he would never remarry and will build the unique and loving mausoleum as her last wish.

After some years, Shah Jahan had decided to make the world’s most beautiful monument in the memory of his beloved. He used the labor of 22,000 workers to construct the monument and spent the money like water and took 22 years in making of wonder of the world “The Taj Mahal”.

Shah Jahan was a passionate king but Tajmahal was not lucky for him.After Taj Mahal completion, a new chapter started named ‘Aurangzeb’. He was born on 3 November 1618, in Dahod, Gujarat. He was the third son and sixth child of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.Aurangzeb hated his own brother Dara Shikoh because Dara was Shah Jahan’s favorite son.He imprisoned his father and killed his brother.Shah Jahan was imprisoned in jail that was in front of Taj Mahal.In that jail,he used to see TajMahal and used to talk with Mumtaj Mahal in his imagination.

Shah Jahan died in 1666, his body was buried in a tomb next to the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal. This beautiful monument came to be known as “Taj Mahal” and now it is counted among the Seven Wonders of the World. This is the true story of the Taj Mahal of India.

Plot[edit]

The story begins with Shah Jahan, known as Prince Khurram (Zulfikar Sayed) when he is about 19 years old. Khurram was Emperor Jahangir's (Arbaaz Ali) favourite son, whom Jahangir wanted to be the future Emperor of India, along with his wife Nur Jahan (Pooja Batra), who was well aware of this fact. Noor Jahan was married once previously, but when her first husband died, Jahangir married her. Ladli Begum (Kim Sharma) is Noor Jahan's daughter from her first marriage. Noor Jahan is a shrewd lady, who wants the best for herself and her daughter and she aspires for Ladli Begum to marry Prince Khurram so she that she will become the Empress of the Mughal Dynasty.

Khurram's passion for hunting leads him into a jungle, and one day while hunting he meets Arjumand Bano. Their meeting was love at first sight, with Khurram attracted to Arjumand Bano's innocence and beauty while Arjumand was impressed by Khurram's great personality. Arjumand Bano is Asaf Khan's (Aly Khan) daughter, Empress Noor Jahan's brother. Khurram and Bano again meet at the Meena Bazaar, where finally both of them declare their love for each other. Ladli Begum comes to know about their love, but she keeps on wooing Prince Khurram. Noor Jahan sees this love as a hindrance to her plans of making her daughter the future Empress of India and she succeeds in turning Emperor Jahangir against his own son, Khurram.

Noor Jahan sends her secret lover and the warrior Mahabat Khan (Milind Gunaji) to fight Khurram and to kill Arjumand Bano. As a result, a war takes place in which forces are also sent by Emperor Jahangir against Khurram. When Khurram meets Jahangir, he declares that Arjumand Bano was more superior to him than the Mughal Dynasty. As a result, relations become even more bitter between the father and the son. However, Arjumand Bano, who was a peace-loving person, agreed to forget Khurram and asked him to marry Kandahari Begum (Negar Khan), an Iranian Princess, who was chosen by Emperor Jahangir for Khurram. Khurram, due to Arjumand's insistence, marries Kandahari Begum while on the other hand, Ladli Begum marries to Khurram's brother. After Emperor Jahangir dies, Khurram becomes Prince Shah Jahan and ruler of the Mughal dynasty. He finally marries the love of his life, Arjumand Bano, who becomes Mumtaz Mahal. The couple lives happily for a while until misfortune occurs.

Khurram must leave for war, but a pregnant Aarjumand chooses to also go with him, as she used to accompany Shah Jahan in all his battles. Khurram tries to return to the camp from the battle but takes a long time to return as he forgets his way. While he is lost, Mumtaz Mahal dies while giving birth to her nineteenth child. During her last breath, Mumtaz Mahal asks Shah Jahan to construct her tomb in a beautiful mausoleum, describing one which would be so beautiful it would express their love for each other to all who visit the mausoleum. Mumtaz's death is the greatest tragedy for Shah Jahan, and as a result, he becomes a completely reformed person. Shah Jahan then starts off to fulfill his wife's last wish, to build Taj Mahal, a beautiful mausoleum to honour the also beautiful Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal goes on to become the Seventh Wonder of the World.

Time passes, and in future Shah Jahan's sons and daughter grow up. The sons are greedy and eager to inherit their father powers, and as a result, they imprison him in a room from where he can easily see Taj Mahal. He watches his sons fighting against each other to become the Emperor of India and the Mughal Dynasty. Everywhere around him there is violence and warfare, with the beheading of slaves and even brothers are no longer uncommon. In the end, Khurram dies while looking at Taj Mahal, the Taj Mahal that took an astonishing 22 years to be made, a tribute showing Shah Jahan as the greatest lover of all time. At his death, his body is laid down next to his love, hence resulting in the culmination of their love after death.^[10]

Music[edit]

Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story was the last work of renowned musician Naushad Ali, who died on 5 May 2006. The audio was formally released at a gala event in Mumbai at ITC Grand Central Sheraton & Towers, Parel on 16 March 2005 by Times Music in tandem with the home label Mashreq Music. The soundtrack album consists 8 songs, featuring vocals by Hariharan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Preeti Uttam and Ajoy Chakraborty, and an instrumental theme. A special edition Double CD, consisting of the soundtrack album and 9 instrumental pieces used as the background score, was also released. This was the first time in India that the background score of a film was released simultaneously with the music release. The lyrics were penned by Naqsh Lyallpuri and Syed Gulrez Rashid.

The album received highly positive reviews from critics. The director Akbar Khan praised the music, saying:

My film's music needed either a Tansen, a Beethoven or a Naushad... I was only left with the last choice! With the power of his spell bounding music, Naushad has managed to recreate the magic of the bygone era, perfectly complementing the mood of the film. The music does not touch the eardrum & bounce back, but penetrates and lives in the soul of people.^{[citation needed]}

The composer Naushad Ali noted about his work:

With respect to the music of Taj Mahal – an eternal love story, I have strived to deliver the kind of music that Akbar Khan had in mind, melody being the chief focus. I sincerely hope that I have not let him down and that the music is liked by music aficionados. I have composed music for other films of the Mughal era including Shahjehan, Baiju Bawra and Mughal-e-Azam but each film requires different treatment depending on the situation, environment, characters, theme etc., hence I refuse to be drawn into comparisons. I trust I have been able to do justice to the brief given to me by Akbar Khan for his film. I must use this occasion to also compliment Times Music in taking the commendable step of releasing the background score that I have created at the same time in a separate CD along with the music of the film the two go very much hand in hand. It is equally important to promote the background score of a film which is in fact much more difficult to compose as compared to the music score. Lastly, with every new composition, it still feels that I have just begun and there is a lot more to achieve...^{[citation needed]}
