Shah Jahan, the third son of the opium-addicted Jahangir, was born in 1592 with the name Khurram. More interested in precious gems and architecture than dancing girls at court, Khurram was reserved and carefully crafted his image as the “millennial sovereign”. Upon Jahangir's death, Khurram finds himself embroiled in a fierce succession struggle. His cunning and military experience, honed from years of avoiding his father's armies, proves invaluable in this fight for the throne.  But Khurram was not powerful on his own. He was surrounded by powerful women – raised by his step-grandmother Ruquiya Sultan, adored by his eldest daughter Jahanara, and most important of all loved and supported by his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She was his confidante and best friend, and to lose her would break his heart. But his broken heart would lead to the building of one of the most beautiful buildings in the world… Join Anita and William as they explore the early life of the fifth Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan.

India's most famous building, Agra's Taj Mahal, was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan - following the death in childbirth of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, on 17th June, 1631.  Renowned for its stunning architecture - a blend of Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles - the mausoleum can be seen not only as a testament to the couple's love (despite the fact the Shah had three other wives…), but also as an embodiment of his empire's extraordinary wealth and power. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the scale of the workforce brought in to construct this pioneering palace; consider whether Mumtaz truly was a ‘Queen of Hearts'; and assess the various Taj Mahal replicas across the world… Further Reading: • ‘The History and Love Story of the Taj Mahal' (ThoughtCo, 2019): https://www.thoughtco.com/the-taj-mahal-1434536 • 'A husband's love built the Taj Mahal—but cost him an empire' (National Geographic): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/history-magazine/article/a-husbands-love-built-the-taj-mahal-but-cost-him-an-empire • ‘Is this the most beautiful building in the world? - Stephanie Honchell Smith' (TedEd, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v580zy82rcE Love the show?

In this episode, FAQ is: How can I learn about a country's customs before I visit there?   Today's Destination is: Agra, India Today's Misstep- I took the wrong bus to the airport in Reykjavik. Travel Advice: Petroleum Jelly has many uses for travelers, so save space and money, simply.   FAQ: How can I learn about a country's customs before I visit there? I will give you five answers to that question, and for some European countries, this will be easier; when it comes to Step 4 and Step 5 experiences, you will work harder on the research to get the answers you need.   1. The First place to look is to do some Online Research: Utilize the internet to find reliable sources, travel forums, and blogs that discuss the customs and traditions of the country you plan to visit. 2. Next, check out your local library or bookstore for books. Guidebooks: Invest in travel guidebooks that provide cultural insights and practical tips for navigating customs in specific countries. 3. An excellent next step is language. Language Apps: Use language-learning apps to familiarize yourself with basic phrases and etiquette, as language is often intertwined with cultural norms. You need to know some cultural experiences if possible. 4. Cultural Workshops: Attend local cultural workshops or events in your area to gain firsthand knowledge about the customs and traditions of the country you intend to visit. 5. Lastly, ask friends to connect you with locals or do it yourself.  Engage with locals through social media platforms or language exchange websites to ask questions and gain insights directly from people living in the destination. Today's destination: Agra, India   Agra is a city on the banks of the Yamuna River in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, about 142 miles southeast of the national capital, Delhi. It's about the distance from San Diego to Los Angeles.1.7 million people live in Agra.   You will find One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal. It is an iconic white marble magical mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved and favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a symbol of eternal love, built in the 17th century. The second place to see is the Agra Fort: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a massive red sandstone fort located on the banks of the Yamuna River. It served as the primary residence of the Mughal emperors and houses several impressive structures, including the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal. Other places to visit include Kinari Bazaar, a bustling market, and Mehtab Bagh, a garden complex on the opposite side of the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal. From this garden viewpoint, you can enjoy some peace, walk around the monument, and see the Taj Mahal at different times of the day. There are other ancient cities and tombs to explore here, which I hope to visit someday. One of my first impressions was that it was stark white marble with Brass and Gold trimmings. How large is the building? 242 feet tall and the exact size below ground. It was lined up with other buildings, with a Guest house next door on the river. East Gate was how I entered. Wear shoe covers to see the mosque.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_and_architecture_of_the_Taj_Mahal   Today's Misstep- I took the wrong bus to the airport in Reykjavik.   Today's Travel Advice-Petroleum Jelly has many uses for travelers, so save space and money.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news  

The Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful man-made structures in the world. It is a UNESCO world heritage site considered to be one of the modern wonders of the world. The story behind its construction is equally beautiful as it is a tale of love and devotion between Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal who passed away shortly after giving birth to their fourteenth child. The Taj Mahal has a massive dome stretching 240 feet covered in marble. The are four thin white marble minarets to mark the four corners. Of course without cranes, getting giant slabs of marble to such heights was no easy task. A ramp would be constructed to bring the pieces up, and to keep the incline manageable the ramp used for this construction had to be about 10 miles long.  Shah Jahan never really got over the loss of his wife. He remained in mourning for years before his position was usurped by his fourth son. He was imprisoned in a fort in Agra in 1658. He was forbidden to leave and spent the final 8 years of his life in the fort looking out the window at the Taj Mahal. When he died in 1666, Shah Jahan was reunited with his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal in the crypt beneath the Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings to ever exist. No matter who you are or what language you speak you've probably heard of the building, but I bet you haven't heard of the woman who it was built for. Mumtaz Mahal was the most beloved wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jehan but while Mumtaz may be famous for dying, I'm more interested in the things she did in her life that made her so beloved to everyone. Join me on this episode to learn about the Mughal's most beloved empress.

If you think the kids in your family are a lot to handle, imagine having over a dozen of them! That was the reality for the royal women in today's video. The primary expectation of Queens and other well born women of the past was to have as many children as possible to secure their husband's dynasty and bare a few spares to be used in advantageous political marriages. Their fertility was their life. They were married early and caught on a treadmill of pregnancy, birth, handing their babies over to be raised by wet-nurses and tutors, and hoping back into bed to conceive again as soon as possible. Surely they looked forward to the relief of menopause. Here are 9 Queens and Empresses who bore an extraordinary number of children: Mumtaz Mahal, Mughal Empress Consort - 14 Children Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen Consort of Great Britain & Ireland - 15 Children Anna Jagellonica, Queen Consort of Germany, Bohemia & Hungary - 15 Children Eleanor of Castile, Queen Consort of England - 16 Children Keran, Queen Consort of Armenia - 16 Children Maria Theresa, Holy Roman Empress - 16 Children Maria Carolina of Austria, Queen Consort of Naples and Sicily - 17 Children Anne, Queen of Great Britain - 18 Children Darejan Dadiani, Queen Consort of Georgia - 23 Children Maria Theresa's Daughters: https://youtu.be/vlLI1bp6BeA https://youtu.be/mtvFd_ciI5Y Maria Theresa's Sons: https://youtu.be/S1lp9qMACfo Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Join us for a conversation between poet and editor Ellen Chang-Richardson and writer and visual artist Manahil Bandukwala about her poetry collection, MONUMENT . MONUMENT is a conversation with Mughal Empress Mumtaz Mahal, which moves her legacy beyond the Taj Mahal. MONUMENT upturns notions of love, monumentalisation, and empire by exploring buried facets of Mumtaz Mahal's story. The collection layers linear time and geographical space to chart the continuing presence of historical legacies. It considers what alternate futures could have been possible.

This month's episode covers the last couple of the first season. Join Kate and Lauren as they discuss and discover the epic love between Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal and the monument he created for her the Taj Mahal!

As we continue to explore the 7 modern wonders of the world, we have decided to discuss the construction and history of what is likely the most iconic of the wonders: the Taj Mahal! King Jahangir, in Agra, India, had the Taj Mahal built for his "favorite wife," Mumtaz Mahal. It was built to be her final resting place, the fanciest mausoleum of all time. Romantic, right? What resulted is one of the most iconic buildings in the world! Thanks to tens of thousands of works, elephants galore, and more money than I care to think about, the Taj Mahal remains an unparalleled architectural feat.

Taj Mahal, a symbol of love, is recognised worldwide and is marvelled at for its architectural genius. This 17th-century heritage building reminds us of a love that prompted a Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, to build a mausoleum for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in childbirth. This architectural expression of love, Taj Mahal, has also been the subject of a perennial debate that it was built on the site of a Hindu temple, 'Tejo Mahalaya,' and that it represents Islamic aggression on a Hindu land. So, the question is, does the Taj Mahal represent religion? The answer is a resounding 'no'; it represents love. To understand the history of Taj Mahal and the persistent controversy around it, watch one of our videos from the archives, where we spoke to historian Pushpesh Pant. And to understand in what ways the Taj Mahal inspired poets, tune in to this episode of Urdunama where Fabeha Syed reads poets like Kaifi Azmi and Sahir Ludhianvi, who think that the structure is in fact a 'mockery of love.'

De wereldpolitiek verkeert in een stroomversnelling. Europa is nu gedwongen een eigen, zelfstandige rol te spelen. En er is onmiskenbaar een nieuwe, cruciale wereldmacht die zich aandient: India. De president van dit in bevolking inmiddels grootste land ter wereld, Ram Nath Kovind, was afgelopen week in Nederland. En dat is bepaald geen toeval, vertellen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in deze aflevering van Betrouwbare Bronnen.India is een steeds belangrijker speler op het wereldtoneel. En Nederland is voor dat enorme land van 1,4 miljard mensen een wezenlijke partner. Niet alleen omdat India met de EU graag en nauw wil samenwerken, maar ook omdat ons land daar tot de grootste handelspartners en investeerders behoort. Dit maakt dat beiden belang hechten aan wederzijds begrip en intensieve dialoog. PG vertelt over zijn indringende gesprek met een vorige president van India, Abdul Kalam, die de samenwerking op het terrein van wetenschap, onderzoek, innovatie en ruimtevaart hoog op zijn agenda had staan.Jaap en PG analyseren hoe India er nu voorstaat. Het is een kernmacht met eigen ruimteraketten. Het heeft het grootste staande leger op aarde en een vloot die van grote betekenis is voor de ‘Indo-Pacific regio' waarop de geopolitiek zich meer en meer concentreert. Ook economisch is India inmiddels een reus. In de hightech is het een gigant. Zijn economie is twee keer zo groot als die van Rusland en drie keer zo groot als de Nederlandse. Door zijn jonge, hoogopgeleide middenklasse en zijn cultuur van democratische ontwikkeling, diversiteit en Engelstalige communicatie is India op vele fronten tegelijk een aantrekkelijke partner.Dat de Indiase regering in de actuele spanningen zich een beetje afhoudend opstelt en de oude band met Moskou niet wil verbreken is vanuit de historie van de afgelopen 75 jaar niet zo vreemd. Voor zowel de olie als de defensie was India al heel lang nauw verbonden met de Sovjet-Unie en daarna met Rusland. Hierbij speelden de permanente spanningen met grote buur China en de grensoorlogen met hen en met westerse bondgenoot Pakistan een grote rol. Na ‘9/11' kwam er een wending naar het westen. Het was president George W. Bush die hier een wezenlijke rol speelde, wat door Obama krachtig werd voortgezet.PG Kroeger vertelt over die ene eerdere keer dat India een echte supermacht was. In de eeuwen tussen 1550 en 1700 kon geen heerser op aarde, laat staan een Europese vorst, tippen aan de macht en rijkdom van de Mughal-heersers op de troon in Agra. Wie waren zij? Wat was hun geheim? Waarom zijn juist deze ‘koningen der koningen' en ‘schaduw van de rechterhand van Allah' zo eindeloos fascinerend? Twee van licht PG eruit.Allereerst Akbar, die het Mughal-imperium definitief grondvestte, een tijdgenoot van Willem van Oranje, Elizabeth I en Filips II. Hij regeerde bijna 50 jaar en deed een opmerkelijke poging te komen tot wereldvrede tussen alle volkeren en religies. En vervolgens Mumtaz Mahal, de innig beminde vrouw van keizer Shah Jahan die haar als keizerin liet regeren zodat hij zich kon wijden aan kunsten, mystiek en het voeren van succesvolle veroveringscampagnes. In de wereldgeschiedenis kent hun liefdesverhaal weinig gelijken. Toen zij stierf beloofde Shah Jahan voor haar het allermooiste gebouw te zullen ontwerpen dat als monument voor hun liefde de eeuwen zou trotseren. Hij hield woord. Ze is begraven in de Taj Mahal in Agra.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door donaties van luisteraars via Vriend van de Show. Sponsoring of adverteren is ook mogelijk.

The Taj Mahal was commissioned 390 years ago by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. But what can we know about the king from the exquisite love temple he built? What do its inscriptions tell us about Shah Jahan's life, love and faith?In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Father Michael D.

The most famous and most beautiful tomb in the world was born in the broken heart of Shah Jahan, when his wife Mumtaz Mahal died at 38 giving birth to their 14th child. The riches of the Mughal Empire were poured into this testament to his grief and to his love, as thousands of artisans labored between 1632 and 1643 to construct it, along with multiple other projects, including gardens, palaces and mosques. The expenditure was immense, even by today's standards. The Taj Mahal and these other marble monuments were intended to serve the deceased and the living as well as the future of the Mughal house. Shah Jahan ruled until 1658, when he became seriously ill and was overthrown by his sons, each wishing to succeed him. He spent the last years of his life imprisoned and as disheartened as King Lear. Join Humanities West in person at The Commonwealth Club, or via live stream, to gain a deeper understanding of the Mughal dynasty that created the Taj Mahal and what went into the construction of one of the most visited architectural wonders in the world—which never fails to impress visitors, no matter how high their expectations were. Fortunately, unlike the Egyptian pyramids, we actually know from Mughal records how and why the Taj Mahal was constructed. The story of the Taj Mahal is indelibly intertwined with the story of Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal Emperor, who ruled a vast empire on the Indian subcontinent from 1628–1658. His many architectural achievements, in addition to the Taj Mahal, were made possible because of his extraordinary wealth. Catherine Asher will focus on the artistic achievement itself: how the Taj Mahal became reality from its inception to its completion, with attention to its remarkable artistic details. She will set this achievement in the context of that time—the previous Mughal artistic developments that had led to the training of so many skilled craftsmen who built not only the Taj Mahal but also the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in Delhi, the Moti Masjid in Agra, and the renovation of Agra Fort (and much more). All this was accomplished during Shah Jahan's reign. Throughout her discussion she will interweave the Mughals' concept of state with architectural construction. Note: Both speakers will be participating remotely.

The tourism industry of Agra – the northern Indian city which is home to the Taj Mahal - has been brought to its knees in the past year by the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic. India's top tourist attraction, the Taj Mahal, a major money spinner for the tourism industry, wears a forlorn and desolate look. The 17th-century architectural marvel finally reopened last week but the tourism industry revolving around the monument of love remains crippled. Krishna Rathore, a 29-year-old tourist guide, wanders aimlessly around the western gate of the complex, hoping to catch a local tourist as Covid cases register a significant fall following the devastating second wave. “I have been coming out every morning for the last few days, hoping I can at least show anyone around the perimeter of the complex and make some money. But I go home disappointed,” Rathore told RFI. A third generation guide, Krishna follows in his father's and grandfather's footsteps. He joined the profession when he was 25 years old but is now actively contemplating taking on another vocation. Like Rathore, around 2,500 registered guides have had their lives upended because of the shutdown, many unsure how the future will play out. Many of the guides are not visible in the vast complex that encompasses nearly 17 hectares.  “I have decided to do odd jobs in Agra and sometimes travel out for contractual labor. My tourist work is finished,” says Rafiq, another guide, who has been working at the Taj for 7 years. Difficult recovery of tourism sector  Apart from guides, hotel owners, restaurants and tour operators, many other stakeholders see a bleak future ahead of them since tourism is unlikely to recover anytime soon, even when the monument is reopened to the public. “The segmentation in the tourism industry feeds each other and that is why there has to be major stimulus to revive the sector. Destination weddings and incentive meetings are one way forward, as they generate valuable income,” says Hari Sukumar, vice-president of the up-market Jaypee Palace hotel. The famous white-marble mausoleum which houses the graves of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal usually draws 7 to 8 million visitors every year while 737,000 foreign tourists visited the monument in 2019. Agra has over a dozen five-star hotels and 400 other budget hotels; the hospitality industry in the city alone employs around 400,000 people. Authorities say there are approximately 500-700,000 people who are dependent on the tourism sector either directly or indirectly. Several other businesses like the handicrafts emporiums, as well as those engaged in leather and marble inlay work have been hit hard by the shutdown of the monument. “This pandemic has destroyed the tourism industry and livelihoods have been upended. It will take at least 2 years to get back to normalcy even if the lockdown is lifted,” Amar Singh Rathore, president of the market association told RFI. An uncertain future Many of the shops in the Taj complex have been shut for over a year and apart from sending off their workforce to their respective homes, the owners now ponder a disturbing future ahead. After being shut for some six months due to the coronavirus last year, the Archaelogical Survey of India began restoration of protected monuments, including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Rajiv Saxena, vice-president of the Tourist Guild of Agra, who also runs a tour service, believes the shutdown in the city has put back businesses by several years. “I don't see things getting back to normalcy before 2023 and the losses will be immense. It is unfortunate that neither the local administration nor the state government has mapped out people's requirements in this pandemic and come to their help,” Saxena told RFI. According to estimates drawn up by the Tourist Guild, the financial losses on account of the shutdown amount to approximately 50 billion Indian Rupees (563 million euros) and will require a substantial financial stimulus for its revival. “Actually, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Much thought has to go into revitalising Agra and that is not going to be easy,” Rajiv Saxena adds.

Since I was on official business in India, I extended my stay for the very worthwhile trip to one of the wonders of the World, The Taj Mahal.Located in Agra, about a 4 hour drive from the chaotic city of Delhi, I booked an excursion.

As the sun rises and sets, the light spawns off the colors of the rainbow. Commissioned by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 14th child, it emits an aura of something special and important.The musician Yanni played his epic "Tribute" concert on the grounds, a perfect complement to enhance its beauty.

Welcome back to another episode of Hold My Umbrella. This week we are talking about soulmates, love, and different routes to finding compatibility and expectations. The story of the Taj Mahal embodies both romance and tragedy that included love, loss, and an immense display of admiration. This historic white marble mausoleum was built in memory of Emperor Shahjahan’s beloved former wife and has been a jewel of Muslim art in India for centuries. When the emperor married his wife, he named her Mumtaz Mahal, meaning “jewel of the palace.” The couple met as teenagers and the story told of their love is everlasting. The definition of soulmates varies, but a soul connection can be defined when two people feel linked on a “soul” level. Listen in as we discuss our personal views and experiences with the topic of soulmates, our views on relationships and love languages, and the expectations to find your one true love.

Ak hovoríme o dejinách mimo nášho európskeho kontinentu, často sa môžeme dostať do situácie, že nám nestačia naše bežné kritéria či predstavy. O to viac to platí pri pohľade na obrovský Indický subkontinent. Azda najviac ho v očiach väčšiny ľudí na Západe reprezentuje Tádž Mahal – prekrásne mauzóleum, vznášajúce sa akoby medzi nebom a zemou, ktoré nechal postaviť jeden z tzv. Veľkých Mughalov Šáhdžahán pre svoju milovanú manželku Mumtaz Mahal. A bola to práve epocha Veľkých Mughalov 16. a 17. storočia, ktorá vtlačila výraznú pečať a určila podobu Indie, tak ako ju dnes poznáme. No už málokto vie, že to bola práve táto panovnícka dynastia, ktorá hoci vyznávala islam, dokázala po viac než dve storočia efektívne zjednocovať a spravovať prevažne hinduistickú Indiu. Ako vyzeral pre Európanov tento stále neznámy svet? A vyznačovala sa táto doba podstatne väčšou dávkou tolerancie a kultúrnej interakcie, než dnes, keď je Indický subkontinent rozdelený predovšetkým medzi dva nepriateľské a po zuby ozbrojené štáty?

"Du bist meine große Liebe!" Der Satz hat einen Beigeschmack, wenn im Harem die Konkurrenz wartet. Doch es scheint, dass Mumtaz Mahal wirklich die große Liebe des Großmoguls war.

He the prince who would become king and she was his truest love.  It was a romance built on Trust, Power and Luxury.  This week on Mara and Jane sit down to discuss Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan, a love so monumental they built a literal monument to it.

You guys, we’re doing our first episode covering a famous couple from history! The story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal’s marriage falls in the gray area between historical fact and romantic legend. By all accounts, they are one of the most celebrated royal couples of the 16th century, and their love resulted in the construction of one of the most recognizable structures in history: the Taj Mahal!

The allure of the Taj Mahal isn't just architectural. Seen as a memorial to true love, the Taj was built out of grief after the death of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

"Du bist meine große Liebe!" Der Satz hat einen Beigeschmack, wenn im Harem die Konkurrenz wartet. Doch es scheint, dass Mumtaz Mahal wirklich die große Liebe des Großmoguls war. Autorin: Anja Mösing

next saturday good epsiode i  think Taj Mahal   Commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal stands on the southern bank of the Yamuna River. The mausoleum is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India" and remains as one of the world’s most celebrated structures and a symbol of India’s rich history.[6]       , Mumtaz Mahal,                                           Mughal emperor Shah Jahan         Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones, and buildings under his patronage reached new levels of refinement.[22]   Great site with vedeo worth seeing The Taj Mahal - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com       Sphinx   The largest and most famous sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza, situated at theGiza Plateau adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza on the west bank of theNile River and facing due east (  WikiMiniAtlas   29°58′31″N 31°08′15″E). The sphinx is located to the east of and below the pyramids       The Sphinx was carved from the bedrock of the Giza plateau, a single ridge of limestone that is 73 meters long and 20 meters high. It was only in 1905 when the sand was cleared away to expose the full body of the Sphinx, before that, the Sphinx was covered in sand.   he missing nose; It was first believe that the Sphinx lost its nose to Napoleons men, but 18th century drawings reveal that the nose of the Sphinx was missing before Napoleon’s arrival, it is believed that the nose of the Sphinx was shot off by the Turks.  Urban Myth  there were pics of sphinx before he came  without noise   The Sphinx is oriented due east facing the rising sun near the 30th parallel. There are three passages into or under the Sphinx, the “Tomb of Osiris” is one of the most incredible discoveries linked to the Sphinx, located 95 feet below the surface behind the back of the Sphinx. It is believed to be the resting place of Egyptian God Osiris.       Eiffel Tower      Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.[1] The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.98 million people ascended it in 2011.[2] The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.[2]   Gustave Eiffel                                                                                The projected tower had been a subject of some controversy, attracting criticism from both those who did not believe that it was feasible and those who objected on artistic grounds,  Gustave Eiffel responded to these criticisms by comparing his tower to the Egyptian Pyramids: "My tower will be the tallest edifice ever erected by man. Will it not also be grandiose in its way? And why would something admirable in Egypt become hideous and ridiculous in Paris?   When construction of the tower began on the Champs de Mars, a group of 300 artists, sculptors, writers and architects sent a petition " that would dominate Paris like a "gigantic black smokestack."     Gustave Eiffel used latticed wrought iron to construct the tower to demonstrate that the metal could be as strong as stone while being lighter. Gustave Eiffel also created the internal frame for the Statue of Liberty.

Mughal dynasty was famous for their royal costumes jewelery and cuisine besides good administration. I will tell you first in brief about Shahjahan and fashion in the mughal era and bring you all in the mood of Mughal period before discussing today,s book. Shah Jahan, a title meaning 'King of the World January 1592 – 22 January 1666 was the fifth Mughal Emperor of India. He ruled from 1628 until 1658. Born Prince Khurram, he was the son of Emperor Jahangir. He was chosen as successor to the throne after the death of his father in 1627. He is considered one of the greatest Mughals. His rule has been called one of the most prosperous ages of Indian civilization the golden age He was passionate to expand his vast empire. In 1658, he fell ill and was confined by his son Aurangzeb in Agra Fort until his death in 1666. Fashion in Mughal era: : Mughal emperors encouraged creativity and Innovation. The harem women were not only beautiful but also very creative. Their mantra to please the emperor had given rise to many new discoveries. Men wore long gowns, as well as decorated sashes, pearl necklaces and jewelled turban ornaments.Women wore long, gown worn over tight trousers is remarkably similar to men costumes itr-Jahangir one of the finest perfume was created during the Mughal period. Mughal women wore beautiful necklaces made of gold and silver studded with gems and pearls A large number of ornaments were made out of gold , silver and copper which hung down from the ears. Nurjahan wrote poetry, blended perfumes and designed clothes and fabrics, dresses in a style that established the fashion for many years to come. She introduced the delicate art of white embroidery chikankari now associated with Lucknow, to the Mughal court, where it became the height of fashion. Velvets, printed cottons and embroideries were also used in the portable tents and furnishings used by the emperor when on the move, either on a military campaign or a hunting expedition.This moveable court was almost as luxurious as the permanent one, I have visited Taj Mahal many times and every time I visited it I learned something new about this monument. The book we are discussing today is: Shah Jahan: The Rise and Fall of the Mughal Emperor by Fergus Nicoll Hardcover: 280 pages Publisher: Haus Publishing; Publication Date: June 1, 2009 My review and thought after reading the book: I loved and enjoyed reading this book a lot. It is a very well written book. I was mesmerized the way author has depicted Shahjahan as a son, grandson, Father and husband.. The bibliography and maps are beautifully depicted and the pictures well- connected to the text. Reading of the planning and consecutive building of the Taj Mahal is a treat. The love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal has attracted the author’s special attention. A marvellous work of literature which is rich,in facts that are woven interestingly into the life of Shah Jahan, one of the illustrious emperors of India.
