Taj Mahal Specialties<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Taj Mahal<\/strong><\/a> is a Mughal monument made on the char bagh pattern. The Char Bagh concept is based on the holy Quran. The architects of Taj Mahal have tried to portray a scene of \u201cJannat\u201d or heaven, they have tried to showcase how the deceased queen is living in heaven forever. Normally this pattern has beautiful four quartered gardens which are bisected by four streams respectively of milk, water, honey, and wine meeting in the center at the pool of bliss.

Now normally the center point is the place where the Mughal monuments were constructed you can see the same concept in Humaon\u2019s tomb in Delhi or Tomb of Etmad-ud-daulah in Agra. But in case of Taj Mahal the monument has been shifted to the extreme north corner and this shifting has in fact created the magic of the Taj Mahal. When you enter the Taj Mahal from the royal gate you actually see the lofty Taj Mahal seated on a huge pedestal beautifully mixing with the blue skies. Blue skies combined with white marble create an ethereal image of floating marble edifice; this visual stimulation leads to the wow effect. This is the first optical illusion and perhaps the most important one in the beauty of the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walking towards the Taj Mahal seeming moving away<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The visitors standing in front of the royal gate are left wondering, As they walk towards the royal gate across the arch you see the marble monument but only a small part of it is visible when you walk slowly towards the arch slowly the veil starts lifting up and more and more of the monument starts appearing. In fact, the monument appears walking away from you when you are walking towards it until you are out of the gate, suddenly the Taj mahal is in front of you blending so beautifully with blue skies and green gardens underneath thus creating an everlasting impression. This is the second optical illusion in the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
