Monument for the Beloved, the Taj Mahal. 00:00:00
Here in Agra, northern India, stands the Taj Mahal, 00:00:08
with its towers rising toward heaven. 00:00:11
Completed in 1654, its beauty was reputed to exceed that of paradise. 00:00:17
Islamic style is embodied in the Taj Mahal, 00:00:24
building up stones symmetrically to construct beautiful stone arches 00:00:27
is an amazing feat of architecture. 00:00:31
The finest builders and artists worked to build the mausoleum 00:00:34
to make it the pride of the Mughal Empire. 00:00:37
The emperor at the height of the empire was Shah Jahan. 00:00:51
To whom did he dedicate this mausoleum? 00:00:55
A coffin lies at the stretch of the centre line of the mausoleum, 00:00:58
a stone coffin of his wife. 00:01:02
The empress' coffin was decorated with jasper and jade 00:01:08
and is protected by the finely carved open work of marble fencing. 00:01:11
The emperor's deep love and affection for the empress is expressed in these works. 00:01:16
A grand garden stretches before the mausoleum complex 00:01:25
with lush greenery and abundant water. 00:01:28
For the Muslim people of the desert, they are symbols of heaven. 00:01:31
Star patterns adorn the green lawns. 00:01:36
The patterns can also be found on the flagstone walkways. 00:01:40
Stars are a symbol of heaven in Islamic culture. 00:01:45
By scattering star patterns around the complex, 00:01:48
the emperor tried to guide his beloved wife to heaven. 00:01:51
Shah Jahan was so despaired at the loss of the empress that his beard turned grey. 00:01:56
In the later years of his life, he was put under house arrest by his third son 00:02:01
in the castle across the lake. 00:02:05
Memories of his wife while gazing at the mausoleum 00:02:09
was the only consolation he could find. 00:02:12
His body was buried next to his wife Mumtaz Mahal by the sixth emperor. 00:02:22
The Mughal Empire disintegrated in the 18th century 00:02:33
but the monuments dedicated to his beloved wife lives on as world heritage. 00:02:36
