00:01The Taj Mahal
00:03Symbol of India
00:05Architectural jewel
00:07Monument to a grand passion
00:10The Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan
00:14King of the world, ruler of India's mighty Mughal Empire
00:25This great warrior king gave the world an architectural masterpiece
00:28of a kind it had never seen before
00:33This is how it came to be made
00:42It's also the legend of his queen, the beautiful Mumtaz Mahal
00:48And of their love, too perfect to survive
00:51The chosen one of the palace will have her final resting place
00:58In the world's most beautiful building
01:00But the magnificent chambers of the Taj Mahal hide a secret
01:03And Shah Jahan will pay a terrible price to complete his life's will
01:06At a turning point in India's history
01:07And Shah Jahan will pay a terrible price to complete his life's will
01:09At a turning point in India's history
01:11The Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful people
01:13The world's most beautiful people
01:16The world's most beautiful people
01:18The world's most beautiful people
01:20And Shah Jahan will pay a terrible price to complete his life's will
01:25At a turning point in India's history
01:26Today the Taj Mahal is one of the world's greatest tourist attractions
01:42Every year more than three million people come to see humanity's loveliest building
01:48With their own eyes
01:49But for the Indian nation
01:53The Taj Mahal is much more than an architectural masterpiece
02:01This is one of the monuments that makes India what it is
02:05That gives the people their identity
02:07It makes them proud
02:09This building is a symbol for the whole nation
02:12The Taj Mahal was built in one of the most glorious periods of Indian history
02:16The time of the Mughals
02:19With their mighty empire and fabulous riches
02:22Its creator, a man who dedicated his life to a dream
02:27Great Mughal Shah Jahan
02:29The building that emerged from his plans
02:31Perfectly combines grace and scale, power and beauty
02:35The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful world
02:38The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful world
02:41The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful world
02:43The magnificent scale, power and beauty
02:48The Taj Mahal, crown of the palace
03:01The inner sanctum of the Taj is a tomb
03:03For Mumtaz Mahal, the love of Shah Jahan's life
03:05In her memory, the great mogul created this eternal love poem, in stone
03:09The building of the Taj commenced in 1632, an army of elephants began dragging construction
03:22materials to the Mughal capital.
03:29This would be the biggest building project of the age.
03:38In a few short years the shell of the Taj Mahal was complete, ready to be clad in flawless
03:45marble at colossal expense.
03:52The location of the Taj on the banks of the Yamuna river was a special challenge.
04:04In addition to water, you rarely find ground solid enough to build on.
04:09So you have to dig down until you hit hard, dry earth.
04:13They came up with a brilliant solution to this problem, one that's still used today, in a
04:19slightly different form.
04:21They decided to build a well foundation.
04:26That was a revolutionary idea for those times.
04:32The great Mughal's engineers dig deep wells to below the water table.
04:38Then they fill them up with rocks and mortar.
04:42On this base, the master builders erect stone columns linked together by massive arches.
04:50The result, a solid mountain of stone to support the foundation slab of the building, protecting
05:02the Taj from the currents of the Yamuna river forever.
05:09The Taj Mahal must always stand as a testament to the eternal power of love.
05:18It will be the legacy of Shah Jahan.
05:25Shah Jahan was the favorite son of the emperor, the great Mughal.
05:29He lived in a world of wealth and splendor.
05:35In the year 1607, he's granted a rare honor.
05:39On his lunar birthday, he's weighed in gold and precious stones.
05:46That doesn't mean he's been chosen to become the new great Mughal.
05:50But there are high hopes for this young truance, and great dangers too.
06:02His own brothers are his deadliest rivals.
06:06The firstborn prince does not always become king.
06:09All the ruler's sons will fight to claim the throne, even to the dead.
06:17The adulation of the crowds means nothing.
06:25The court chronicles will be our guide to Shah Jahan's life, to its triumphs and disasters.
06:39The prince is given a child bride, an arranged marriage for political reasons.
06:45It could have been an empty contract.
06:49But this love will last for eternity.
06:58Ten years later, the prince is 25 years old.
07:02His star shines brighter than ever.
07:05He has fought the enemies of the emperor, winning victory after victory.
07:11As a reward, his father gives him the title, Shah Jahan, King of the World.
07:19The capital of the Mughal Empire is the great city of Agra in northern India.
07:25The location of the giant Red Fort.
07:29The center of imperial power and one of India's mightiest strongholds.
07:36The ruling moguls and their families live in magnificent palaces inside the fort.
07:43Here the women of his harem see to Shah Jahan's every wing.
07:50But his favorite, by far, is his childhood love, Mumtaz Mahan.
07:58Shah Jahan calls her the chosen one of the palace.
08:05From the chronicles, we know this royal couple were especially close for those times.
08:13The impression which one gathers is that there is a strong personal element of personal love.
08:22There is a bit of romance.
08:26It is usually said that the concept of love is a very European concept.
08:37Because in the Eastern world, you have the emotion of love, which is impersonal.
08:49Love for deities, love for idols, love for father, love for institutions, love for religion,
08:57spiritual love, but not romantic love.
09:03But Shah Jahan's memorial to Mumtaz Mahan is the world's most exquisite symbol of romantic love.
09:12Every day, countless visitors are enthralled by the Taj Mahal.
09:17Partly because its mogul architects use some remarkable optical tricks.
09:24The first view of the monument is framed by the main gate.
09:28As the visitor moves closer, the Taj Mahal seems to get smaller.
09:39It seems to grow bigger as you walk away.
09:43The guides here say, when you leave, you take the Taj with you in your heart.
09:49An optical trick went into the building of the minarets, too.
10:00They leaned slightly outwards.
10:05If they were truly vertical, they would seem to be leaning inwards.
10:12By leaning away from each other, they look perfectly upright.
10:16And that brings another advantage.
10:19In an earthquake, the minarets would collapse outwards, sparing the Taj and its mighty dome.
10:31The dome is the crowning glory of the Taj Mahal.
10:34The element that makes it so timeless and graceful.
10:38Today we have other options.
10:42We can build giant supporting structures in steel for a dome like that.
10:47We have other materials.
10:49They had to solve all their problems in stone.
10:53So, they laid stone on stone and built up the dome in rings.
11:00The dome rises layer by layer.
11:03The mortar between the stones gives it stability.
11:10The result is self-supporting, with no reinforcing struts or columns.
11:16The weight of the dome is transferred directly downwards to the mass of masonry below.
11:26The dome is more than 40 meters high and 4 meters thick.
11:31Yet it seems to float over the marble facade.
11:34A miracle of stress calculation, still admired by engineers.
11:39For over 350 years, this dome has been the ultimate expression of Mughal architecture.
11:491621, the Mughal Empire is at a turning point.
11:54The emperor, Shah Jahan's father, is desperately ill.
11:59His sons are gathering in the shadow of the throne, ready to fill the vacuum of power.
12:06Shah Jahan knows that his moment has come.
12:13Nothing will stop him in his lust for absolute power.
12:27No means are ruled out, not even poison.
12:32When the great Mughal finally dies, Shah Jahan has his rivals eliminated.
12:47Brotherly love means nothing when the prize is so great.
12:53There was a notion of family, and there was a notion of affection.
13:00But this feeling recedes into the background.
13:05And then that particular vision of acquiring power for yourself,
13:10and to rule the country or empire as you see fit,
13:14becomes the rationale behind all the violence that is perpetrated.
13:21With his rivals gone, Shah Jahan seizes the throne.
13:26He's crowned emperor in 1628 in the Red Fort in Agra.
13:33Shah Jahan soon proves himself a wise and moderate ruler.
13:45He guides the empire to even greater prosperity.
13:52Muntas Mahal stays in the background, but she's one of the Shah's most important advisors.
14:03This Mughal dynasty seems to have a glorious future.
14:06Perhaps it will equal the illustrious past.
14:11The Mughals are descended from the greatest warlord of them all, Genghis Khan.
14:19Their distant ancestors were fierce warriors of the Asian steppes, the Mongols.
14:30A mere hundred years before Shah Jahan's rise to power,
14:34the Mughals swept down from the north onto the plains of India.
14:40Their cannons crushed one Indian city after another.
15:01By the time of Shah Jahan, the Mughals control most of India.
15:06The first time this great land has been unified in nearly 2,000 years.
15:18The Mughal rulers bring their faith with them.
15:21Islam.
15:23After Hinduism, Islam soon becomes India's second religion.
15:27Islam.
15:28But the invaders don't impose it on the people.
15:32They seek a balance between the cultures.
15:36The Mughal lords proclaim religious tolerance.
15:40Islam.
15:41menor है
15:45now see business and industry, science and art flourish.
15:54Artists at court portray their rulers as godlike beings.
16:05There are no limits to the great mogul's power.
16:09Shah Jahan holds sway over his subjects,
16:12over life and death.
16:16His word is law throughout the empire.
16:22This just ruler leads the country to prosperity and stability.
16:29The court chronicle records that Shah Jahan brings the people
16:33abundant joy and happiness.
16:35Under Shah Jahan, mogul rule in India reaches its dazzling zenith.
16:47But now, his greatest legacy, the Taj Mahal, symbol of the Indian nation, is under threat.
16:53This has been a high security zone since 2006.
17:02After bomb threats from terrorists and religious fundamentalists,
17:07it's guarded round the clock.
17:08Access to the mausoleum is tightly controlled.
17:21Filming of the magnificent interior is forbidden.
17:26No one knows how long the Taj will need this kind of protection.
17:37Art historian Ebba Koch was able to study the Taj before the restrictions came into force.
17:43She is the international expert on the building and its history.
18:00She has also decoded the religious symbolism of the monument.
18:03The Taj Mahal is the architectural embodiment of this life and of the next, according to Islamic belief.
18:20The ground plan shows this duality.
18:23The complex is split between the tomb garden with its mausoleum
18:27and a worldly side meant for bazaars and markets.
18:30What's interesting is that the worldly side is the mirror image of the mausoleum side.
18:38The connecting square with the great main gate marks the transition to the tomb garden
18:44and opens up the view to the mausoleum.
18:51At the centre of the mausoleum is the Holy of Holies,
18:56the most splendid room in the Taj Mahal,
18:58the final resting place of Shah Jahan's bride.
19:07Mumtaz Mahal, the chosen one of the palace,
19:10leads a luxurious life in the women's apartments of the Red Fort.
19:13Poets admire her grace and charm.
19:14Even the moon, they say, hides from her beauty in shame.
19:16The first lady of the empire is fabulously wealthy.
19:22She has huge resources.
19:23She was the highest recipient of money in the entire harem, being the chief queen, or the most beloved queen of the emperor.
19:35Because payments in the harem were graded.
19:53We have very interesting accounts of graded payments from a very huge amount to a very small amount.
20:03And on top of this, there were gifts.
20:08Very, very exquisite, expensive gifts on various occasions.
20:12The riches of the Mughal dynasty are legendary.
20:18Both men and women wear jewelry.
20:20For the men, it's a sign of nobility.
20:23And they give precious jewels to their favorites in the harem.
20:27It's endless supply of gems makes India the treasure house of the world.
20:44In the Mughal empire, the Indian art of jewelry reaches its peak.
20:49Precious stones decorate statues, furniture, weapons, and fabrics.
20:54Even today, works by Mughal craftsmen command the highest prices.
21:05The same is true of India's textiles.
21:09Cotton has been woven here for more than 4,000 years.
21:13This is still a vital industry in India.
21:15Under the Mughals, India became the world's leading exporter of precious fabrics.
21:32The rulers, the great Mughal and his family, cashed in on the trade.
21:36Shah Jahan has a special duty to his dynasty.
21:47To produce heirs.
21:50His wives in the harem bear him children.
21:54But as the chronicles tell us, once they've done their duty, these women are his wives in name only.
22:12Shah Jahan's harem may once have been a love nest.
22:16Soon, it comes to resemble a nursery.
22:20The harem is not an informal, entirely informal space.
22:26It's a space with a certain protocol.
22:29It is a space with a certain hierarchy.
22:32It is a space with a whole set of rules and regulations.
22:37With the empire at peace, there's plenty of leisure time to fill.
22:41The Mughal's enjoyment of alcohol and opium is legendary.
22:54Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal are together every possible moment.
22:58As the chronicles record.
23:00The mutual affection and harmony between the two had reached a degree never seen between a husband and a wife among the classes of rulers or among the other people.
23:16The Imperial Chronicle describes their life at court.
23:19The intimacy, deep affection, attention and favor which his majesty had for the chosen one of the palace, exceeded by a thousand times what he felt for any other.
23:33For Shah Jahan, the happiness of Mumtaz Mahal is paramount.
23:40If you look at the wardrobe of the emperor, if you look at his private chambers, if you look at the shelf which displays all the perfumes, ointments, oil and a whole range of aphrodisiacs.
23:57Then you would perhaps know that there is a lot of interest to develop into good lovers, to acquire emotions or to release emotions in a way that would revitalize them or rejuvenate them.
24:19Her husband's love is shared and returned by Mumtaz Mahal from the depths of her soul.
24:27And always, that lady of the age was the companion, close confidant, associate and intimate friend of that successful ruler, in hardship and comfort, joy and grief, when travelling or in residence.
24:43Fortune smiles on the king of the world, but not for long.
24:59There is unrest in the empire.
25:04There is unrest in the empire.
25:07In 1629 reports reach Agra of another uprising.
25:12A distant province has rebelled against the empire again.
25:17This means war.
25:20Shah Jahan mobilizes his army.
25:22He will crush opposition with brute force.
25:38Day after day, week after week, the Mughal army blazes a trail across the Indian plains.
25:44Nearly two years of forced marches follow for Shah Jahan soldiers.
25:55But nothing will tear Mumtaz Mahal from her husband's side.
25:58The Mughals are forced to leave their capital again and again.
26:07To crush rebellions in the Deccan region.
26:13The campaign seems to have no end.
26:16The great Mughal still puts his faith in his cannons.
26:27The latest super weapons imported from the Turkish Empire.
26:34His soldiers haul them over mountains and across the roughest terrain.
26:37Shattering city walls.
26:38Wiping out the rebels.
26:40But his string of victories is interrupted by tragedy.
26:57In the midst of the campaign, Mumtaz Mahal falls pregnant with the emperor's child.
27:02But there are complications at the birth.
27:04For once the king is powerless.
27:08As his bride weakens, the great Mughal can do nothing but pray.
27:13The court chronicle recorded the sad events.
27:19On the 17th of June 1631, the unfortunate demise of Her Majesty the Queen took place shortly after her confinement.
27:30And made the whole world a house of mourning.
27:35Mumtaz Mahal dies after the birth of her 14th child.
27:40Shah Jahan's world has come to an end.
27:43They say the emperor fasted for eight days, locked in his chambers.
27:53For two years he heard no music.
27:55Wore no jewellery or perfume.
27:57His hair and beard had turned grey.
28:08He looked older.
28:11Much, much older than what he looked when he went into confinement or statutory mourning.
28:15So surely this must have had a deep impact on him.
28:29Before she died, legend says, Mumtaz Mahal made a wish for a mausoleum more sublime than any the world had seen.
28:38This will be Shah Jahan's task for the rest of his life.
28:44To erect the world's most beautiful building in her memory.
28:55The Taj Mahal stands in a long tradition of fabulous memorials in India.
28:59Shah Jahan's predecessors had constructed many gorgeous mausoleums.
29:13The Taj Mahal combines the very best elements of the memorials to Shah Jahan's forefathers.
29:19The tomb of his own father provides the model for the minarets.
29:23His great-grandfather's mausoleum had four corner turrets surrounding the central core.
29:33The four mighty portals are inspired by his grandfather's tomb.
29:43And Shah Jahan took the form of the great dome from the memorial to a famous ancestor.
29:48Different models, united in perfect harmony.
29:59No other mausoleum may come close to the Taj Mahal in scale, beauty and grace.
30:05This monument must be nothing less than a paradise here on earth.
30:09Symbolism carved in stone and marble.
30:20A heavenly memorial to the queen of the world.
30:26Or as a poet described it, a teardrop on the cheek of time.
30:32In 1632, just six months after Mumtaz Mahal's death, work begins on the Taj Mahal.
30:47It will be the greatest building project of the age.
30:50Some say that over 20,000 workers slaved on the building.
30:58A court chronicler captures the scene.
31:02And from all sides of the imperial territories were assembled troop after troop of skilled men, stonecutters, inlayers and those who do carving in relief.
31:16Each one an expert in his craft, who began work together with the other laborers.
31:21Millions of bricks are baked on the spot for the shell of the building.
31:28The Taj rises at record speed.
31:32But progress comes at a price.
31:35Day by day, this gigantic construction is draining the imperial treasury.
31:40But nothing matters to the great mogul.
31:46No expenses spared for this lavish project.
31:50Nothing must hold up the building work.
31:56Even if the people suffered terribly for the emperor's devotion.
32:02Shah Jahan created an artificial famine when he diverted the supply of grain towards Agra.
32:18When it was meant for a different place.
32:21The regular supply of grain was diverted to feed a huge population of artisans, craftsmen, laborers, merchants, officials, servants.
32:37Such monuments cannot be built by a few individuals.
32:43Today, no one remembers the ordeal of the people.
32:48Only the sublime result.
32:52The color scheme of the Taj Mahal is deeply symbolic.
32:58The worldly elements and other buildings are all clad in red sandstone.
33:07White is reserved for the mausoleum.
33:10This is to be a building of enlightenment, an earthly representation of the heavenly house where Mumtaz Mahal will live for eternity.
33:17The pure white stands for the spirituality and faith of the person buried here.
33:24The white marble for the Taj Mahal comes from quarries at Makrana in Rajasthan, still in use today.
33:35Makrana marble is already famous in Shah Jahan's time.
33:44Hard yet easy to work.
33:46It's prized for its fine detail and high polish.
33:49The great Mughal has reserved Makrana marble for imperial buildings.
33:52The marble slabs are carried more than 400 kilometers to the site of the Taj Mahal.
34:06Construction consumes colossal amounts of this fabulous stone.
34:17With the skeleton of the building complete, the bricks disappear forever beneath the pure white facade.
34:24It's this smooth glowing stone that gives the Taj Mahal its unique impact.
34:34Of course, it's this white marble that gives it its beauty, its lightness, that sense of floating.
34:44These are means of expression available to an architect, just as words are used by a poet.
34:57Right beside the marble edifice, the gardens begin.
35:01The garden is the heart of the Taj Mahal.
35:07It's an earthly picture of the paradise of the Koran.
35:11Two paths divide the terrain into four squares.
35:16The channels along the paths represent the rivers of paradise in the Koran.
35:22Where the channels meet, there's a pool.
35:25This is symbolic of the celestial pool where the faithful quench their thirst when they arrive in paradise.
35:38True to Mughal tradition, the mausoleum and garden form an indivisible unity.
35:45And the interior of the mausoleum itself is modeled after the eight paradises of the Koran.
35:52Eight chambers surround the central space beneath the dome.
36:01Mumtaz Mahal's coffin lies here.
36:04Before long, it attracted pilgrims from far and wide.
36:09Even today, the graves of deeply pious Muslims attract thousands of pilgrims.
36:16The flowers on the graves recall the prophet Muhammad.
36:19As he ascended into heaven, each drop of perspiration turned into a rose.
36:26The faithful pray to the departed, asking for their divine intervention.
36:31Indian Muslims are drawn to the sumptuous memorials of the Mughal rulers in the same way.
36:40Orthodox Islam has no time for the worship of saints.
36:50But here in India, it's widely seen.
36:52The Mughals brought Islam to the subcontinent.
37:04But they didn't interpret the Koran rigidly.
37:07For a long time in India, Islam was linked to policies of tolerance and openness.
37:23Under Shah Jahan, that tolerance and openness reaches far beyond India's borders.
37:28The great Mughal decrees that visitors from the outside world will be made welcome in his empire.
37:42He knows there is much to gain from the exchange.
37:46So, travellers from east and west are regularly seen at Shah Jahan's court.
38:01Europeans can easily be spotted by their exotic headgear.
38:05Both sides benefit from this transcontinental contact.
38:15The Europeans are drawn by the precious fabrics, spices and gemstones.
38:24European merchants pay with silver and bring new ideas to the Mughal Empire.
38:28The Taj Mahal itself demonstrates the links between India and Europe.
38:41Sumptuous stone flowers adorn the filigree marble lattice work
38:46and cover the entire interior of the Taj Mahal.
38:50Techniques and motifs coming from distant Europe.
38:53These mosaics of semi-precious stones are called Pietra Dura.
39:00In Petra Dura, for instance, one doesn't know whether Petra Dura came directly from Europe
39:11or came via some intermediary zone.
39:14But nevertheless, it was something which really tickled the imagination of Shah Jahan.
39:20And he used it in a very interesting way in which the building really looks like a treasure chest.
39:36Pietra Dura is Italian for hard stone.
39:41In the Renaissance, these precious inlays decorated palaces.
39:44This craft of stone cutting traveled from Italy to India, where it experienced a new heyday.
39:56In the Pietra Dura workshops of India, the techniques haven't changed in hundreds of years.
40:03Many families have been doing this for 17 or 18 generations.
40:07These are the direct descendants of the craftsmen who worked on the Taj Mahal.
40:16Pietra Dura is a tough craft to master.
40:22The mosaics are made of tiny colored stones set into marble.
40:26A craftsman cuts hundreds of stones for a single mosaic, each shaped and positioned with perfect precision.
40:46He needs just as much skill to carve the flower shapes into the marble, creating the setting for the precious stones.
40:52After the final delicate corrections, a special glue sets the stones in their recesses.
41:09Painting in stone is one of the glories of Indian craftsmanship.
41:14But no chronicles record the names of the artists who decorated the Taj Mahal.
41:19One thing we tend to forget is the hard labor, sweat, suffering of artisans and ordinary craftsmen.
41:29Nobody knows anything about them.
41:31So the monument is a testimony as much to their existence and the skill which they possessed as it is of Shah Jahan's aesthetic embellishment.
41:45Through their work, the men who made the Taj Mahal live on.
41:481643, the Taj Mahal is finished. It has taken 12 years. In spite of difficulties and obstacles, Shah Jahan has accomplished his dream.
41:57The chosen one of the palace rests in a shrine worthy of her name.
41:58A building more sublime than any conceived or carved by human hands.
42:00A building more sublime than any conceived or carved by human hand.
42:01A building more sublime than any conceived or carved by human hand.
