00:00In this detailed review, today we are going to talk about one such magnificent and famous building in history.
00:05which has been considered a sure sign of love for centuries.
00:09Yes, we are talking about the Taj Mahal. Today we will not only praise its beauty but also
00:14Some amazing historical feats of engineering related to this are such that even today they amaze the mind and some are famous.
00:21Completely alien to local rumours
00:37But whenever we think of the Mughal emperors, a feeling of extreme jaahu jalal comes to our mind.
00:43The outline of a powerful ruler emerges, doesn't it? But just look at this letter, Qasim Khan Manija, who
00:49He was the maternal uncle of Mumtaz Mahal and his name was Shah Jahan.
01:06The children's father is with them and they will have to come out of this deep shock. This letter is actually from that unknown child.
01:11It reveals the depth of grief that laid the foundation for a monument like the Taj Mahal.
01:15Our agenda today is very simple, we will talk about these four important parts, first one is Lajwal Love
01:23The story of the second is the construction of that great memorial, the third is the description of the land and the architect and the fourth is
01:32A brand new modern Taj Mahal
01:34So let's move on to our first part, the story of a wonderful love.
01:40Khuram, later known to the world as Shah Jahan, was the son of Emperor Jahangir and a Rajput princess.
01:47This beautiful journey of his life begins in 1607 when he met Arjaman Bano and their
01:54Engagement Taip I
01:54Then, after marriage in 1612, Shah Jahan gave Arjaman Banu the special title of Mumtaz Mahal.
02:00Which meant the most chosen and most exalted Begum
02:04History tells us that Mumtaz Mahal was always with Shah Jahan at every step.
02:08But then came a very dramatic turn in 1631.
02:12When Mumtaz Mahal died while giving birth to her fourteenth child
02:16As a result of this pride, the basic construction of the Taj Mahal was completed in 1643.
02:21Now the thing that is really Haran Kun in this context
02:24The effect of this grief was not just mental.
02:26But he was also physical
02:28The shock of Mumtaz Mahal's death was profound.
02:31According to the history of Ghazvini
02:33Shah Jahan had even considered handing over his rule to Dara Shiko.
02:37He completely abandoned the use of colourful clothes, perfumes and jewellery.
02:42And the most surprising thing is what the famous Persian scholar Professor Younis Jafri says.
02:47It is that Shah Jahan cried so much that his foundation became extremely weak.
02:52And he probably became the first person in the documented history of India to wear glasses.
02:56Every Buddha was mourned with due respect in the court.
02:59Now let's move on to the other part of the memorial.
03:03Mumtaz Mahal died in Burhanpur.
03:06But his Jasad khaki was later brought to Agra
03:09Where this incredible and Devo Hackle project began
03:12twenty thousand
03:14Yes, this is not ordinary violence.
03:16This is the number of skilled people, artisans and laborers.
03:20who worked day and night to build this memorial
03:23Under the brilliant guidance of Ustad Ahmed Lahuri
03:26Mahit Vasi Auries Complex was completed on this 42 acre land.
03:30It includes a Maghre as well as an Azim Aushan Mosque and a Mehman Khana.
03:35And if we talk about the cost involved, just imagine it.
03:40During the reign of Shah Jahan from 1628 to 1658
03:44Approximately Rs 3 crore 20 lakh were spent on this project at this time.
03:49This amount may sound small today.
03:51But if it is estimated according to today's inflation
03:54So this amount becomes much more than Rs 50 billion.
03:58This is the source of this boundless love.
04:02Which was given as Waqf for the construction of just one tomb
04:04The engineering prowess of the Mughals was truly remarkable.
04:07The marble stone of the Taj Mahal was so heavy
04:10that it was simply impossible to repair it using conventional methods.
04:13So what did they do?
04:14He laid its foundation on sal wood beams.
04:19And the amazing thing is that those sacrifices were placed inside the wells where the Yamuna river flows.
04:24Water keeps them hydrated
04:26If these sticks had dried even a little, the Taj Mahal would probably be standing in its place today.
04:30And look at the choice of the destination, this is exactly that geographical point from where the Yamuna river never changes its course.
04:36what an amazing mansuba bandi she was
04:39An interesting fact that very few people probably know.
04:43Initially this building was not called Taj Mahal.
04:46Its original name in Mughal official documents was Roza Munawara or Roza Mutahar.
04:52Chue Ye was built for a Pakbas Khatun
04:55Therefore, the name was also kept Roshan or Pakeeza Magabra accordingly.
04:59This is the name we use today for the Taj Mahal.
05:03It became popular much later under the rule of foreign travellers like the French, Bernier and British.
05:10Now let's come to the third and most important part.
05:13investigation of the incident
05:14What is true and what is just fiction
05:17Nowadays, many kinds of claims and rumours keep coming up regarding the land and construction of this huge building.
05:23Are
05:23So what does the actual historical record say?
05:26The most important point is that government documents completely deny claims of forced occupation.
05:32It is clearly recorded in the book of Aibak that Shahjahan gave
05:36Raja Man Singh's grandson Jay Singh was given four magnificent mansions.
05:40J Singh actually wanted to gift this land.
05:43But Shahjahan refused with force.
05:46Because they were building a tomb.
05:47And according to their belief, such land should not have been usurped or free.
05:52And the one who claims to have demolished the temple
05:54Historical facts tell us that there was a mansion named Aliya Mandir of Man Singh.
05:58Inside which there was only one prayer room.
06:01That is, the Taj Mahal was built by demolishing a palace.
06:04Not by occupying any open public temple
06:07And yes, you must have heard another very famous story.
06:10that the hands of Ustad Isa and other artisans who built the Taj Mahal were cut off.
06:15So that they cannot build such a structure again.
06:17Believe me, this is completely baseless.
06:20Firstly, historically, Ustad Ahmed Lahuri is considered its original author.
06:24And secondly, there is no mention of such a cruel incident in any Mustanb history of this period.
06:30There is no record anywhere in history of the Mughal emperor or king being so ruthless.
06:36Is
06:36This is just a sensational story which became famous with time.
06:41And now our fourth and final part: a modern Taj Mahal
06:45From the seventeenth century date, we come to Zara Daur Hazar
06:49Till now we have seen the Taj Mahal as a symbol of a husband's love for his wife.
06:54But just think, is the picture of such a great memory of love limited only to romantic love?
07:01Can't this symbol express the unconditional devotion of a child towards his mother?
07:05These are the questions that arise in this deeply emotional and fresh story from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
07:12leads to
07:13This story is really heart touching.
07:15The story of Amruddin Sheikh Dawood, a Tajar from Chennai
07:20His father died when he was very injured.
07:23His mother, Jelani Begum, raised him with immense sacrifice, hard work and dedication.
07:45It has been constructed in the area near Thuru Varur, which is now known to be where the original Taj Mahal was built.
07:51I got tens
07:52Thanks to modern technology, the project took only two years, but there was no lack of dedication.
07:58The special marble used in its construction was specially ordered from Rajasthan so that it would look exactly like the real Taj Mahal.
08:05as seen
08:05And now this place has become a centre of special attention where people from far and wide come to see a son.
08:12that he is coming to see this devotion from his mother
08:15And if you are wondering how much it cost, a total of five crore rupees was spent by Amraodin on this for his mother.
08:21Five crore Indian rupees were spent on this memorial built for
08:24This is proof that Khubaniyan and great sacrifices given for love are the greatest examples of history.
08:30It is not just a part of books but is alive even in today's times.
08:33So we have reached the end of this journey and all this information, all these stories make us think deeply.
08:39puts in
08:40Just consider if a great emperor and an ordinary businessman of today's times both love and devotion
08:47If we can create such wonderful memories for our loved ones, then to what extent can we go for our loved ones?
08:52can
08:52What do we have the courage to do for their happiness? This is a question that is true in love.
08:57To understand the amazing power of staying connected with us, it should remain alive in the minds of all of us.
09:03Thank you very much
