00:00Cheers to this well-received offering. Today we are embarking on a journey to the Taj Mahal that is unlike any ordinary one.
00:06It is very different from the lesson of Tariq.
00:08We will not only talk about its physical beauty but also about its romantic beginnings, the construction arrangements made for it.
00:15We will also discuss in detail the deep criticism and the bitter economic realities of today's times.
00:20The important initiatives we will explore on this journey include the glorious promise of love, the masterpiece of art and wealth.
00:28And it includes the demands of love of the poor, the serious dangers of poverty and the hopes for the future.
00:34Let's go straight to the point.
00:37So first of all let us talk about this precious promise of love.
01:07It seemed the wire was about to move.
01:09Now we come to our second part, that is, the contribution of art making.
01:14Get an idea of the scale of construction of this memorial from this one Hindi.
01:19Twenty-two thousand, yes twenty-two thousand laborers and artisans worked day and night under the supervision of Chief Architect Ustad Ahmed Lahori.
01:27Made one.
01:28This was no ordinary construction. It was as if an entire community had been dedicated to this one Maghber.
01:35It may have been set up to stand.
01:37And not only humans but a huge caravan of one thousand elephants was also involved in this work.
01:44What was their job? Simply transporting heavy construction equipment to this construction site on the banks of the Yamuna River?
01:53Obviously, the cost of turning such a big dream into reality was unaffordable.
01:59According to a reliable estimate, Rs 32 crore (320 million) was spent on this grand project at that time.
02:07It is a stunning testimony to the immense and immeasurable royal wealth of that era.
02:12And where was this money spent? In fact, India, China, Arabia, and Syria were all invested to enhance the splendor of this kingdom.
02:20About 28 to 30 extremely precious and shiny stones of different sizes were ordered from Lanka.
02:28Jasper, turquoise, lapis lazuli, sapphire, all these have been incorporated into pure white marble with such skill that it is a sight to behold.
02:36People will be stunned.
02:38But its beauty is not limited to just eye-pleasing beauty.
02:42The inner dome over the tombs has been built with such amazing technology that it is difficult to imagine the birthplace there.
02:48Even the slightest sound is echoed and produces five different layers of sound waves.
02:54This is such a natural experience that it really brings a new life to a person.
03:24A myth has also been created. When one moves left from the main gate, the right minaret becomes visible.
03:31It comes and if you go to the right then it is left.
03:33But the strangest and most magical feeling is walking backwards.
03:40It is as if the Taj Mahal itself is walking behind us.
03:44Well, leaving aside these talks of light and beauty, let us now move towards the third part of our wealth.
03:51And the love of the poor.
03:52The famous Urdu poet Sahir Ludhyanvi has given this entire memorial a very different and powerful Marxist perspective.
04:01Seen from.
04:01You must have heard his famous lines: A king, using his wealth, squandered the love of us poor people.
04:08It's a joke.
04:09His argument was that a king, on the strength of his immense wealth, had actually taken away the rights of those common people.
04:16Mukhbat has been degraded by those who have passion but no wealth.
04:21If we look at this narrow view from a biased perspective, a profound contrast emerges.
04:28This magnificent monument worth Rs 32 crores was built with immense wealth and royal power and on the other side, Anginat
04:36The plight of common people
05:02Fourth is the serious danger of pollution.
05:21Which is rapidly eating away at this historic marble. Still in this slow-moving river filled with sewer
05:27The quantity has expired but due to this Goldie Churonmas is an excellent insecticide.
05:34The atmosphere has become dangerous. These insects are
05:48The hopes of the future are reaching their last moments, wondering what can be done to save this world.
05:57To remove this yellowing, restoration teams adopted a very gentle method.
06:03Is.
06:04They apply a paste of a special clay mineral on those stones.
06:08This soil acts like a sponge and absorbs all the dirt and gunk of the earth.
06:14She takes it.
06:15It is then washed with water to remove this extremely delicate 17th century marble from any
06:21The chemical should not cause any harm.
06:22Apart from this, some strict measures have also been taken.
06:26A two-kilometer buffer zone has been established around the Taj Mahal, where entry of common vehicles is prohibited.
06:32It is closed.
06:33It is necessary for Zaharin that the environment or friends electric buses run on 96 kilowatt battery
06:39Use this to minimize the emission of smoke from the bray passage.
06:44So this explanatory presentation at its conclusion leaves a very important question in our minds.
06:51Are these the current efforts of human engineering and protection?
06:55This symbol of eternal love of the 17th century has been marred by the harsh realities of climatic changes and overpopulation of the 21st century.
07:03You will have a child.
07:04What kind of question is this, the definitive answer to which will be given only by time.
07:08Thank you so much for joining us on this journey today.
