About this eBook
""Taj Mahal"" explores the iconic monument beyond a symbol of love, examining its historical, architectural, and cultural significance within the Mughal Empire. Delving into 17th-century India under Shah Jahan, the book reveals how the Taj Mahal served as an assertion of imperial power and religious devotion, reflecting the zenith of Mughal artistic and administrative capabilities. The book highlights the intricate blend of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles, illustrating the monument's complex construction. The book offers a comprehensive perspective by integrating historical context with detailed architectural analysis and cultural interpretations.
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the Mughal Empire, then dissects the Taj Mahal's architecture, and finally analyzes the monument's symbolic meaning and place in India's national identity. This approach provides readers with a holistic understanding of the landmark's enduring legacy.
