Hey friends this is sameer after a long time. How are you all? May be fine. So, friends today I'm here to tell you something about the architecture and art work done on the "Taj Mahal".
It was the golden era of mughal empire when the Taj was made. The emperor was Shahjahan the great who make his wife's last dream a reality. This was about 22 years taking to complete the taj and 20,000 workers works day and night to make their king's dream true. Many European works works on the engraving of taj mahal. The name is "Pietra Dura". It was a style of Italian engraving which is done with the help of gems, ruby's, emereld, sapphire and many more precious stones.
Shahjahan invited the pietra dura artists from Europe and asked him to help in their project. There are many steps for doing the pietra dura on a stone. Firstly clean the part of a stone and than cut the design from the stone than ready a precious stone of the design shape and reset it on the stone with the help of the white cement.
Actually many of the people didn't know that front side of the taj mahal is from the river and today where we enter in the taj it is the back side of it. The backside complex of taj is bigger more than the 4 football grounds.
It was the royal engraving on the river side of the TAJ.
At that time if any ordinary people has the courage to se this royal engraving. He can't see any thing after that. He need to lost his eyes. Because this engraving was only for royal people. This art work is done on the red sand stone.
But today the beauty of the Taj is expoiled by the pollution and the thousands of tourists which reach daily. Really it is a wonder of love which is of a king towards his wife.
