Voila the grandiosity simply grips you. Its an epitome of love they say . It speaks volumes about the years gone by for making it a magnificent piece of art and grandeur. More than the labourers its the man behind it all who is idolised and worshipped and why not as it was his idea to build it in the memory of his wife. The mason, sculptors and labourers were mere helpers to bring his vision to life by buidling it to such perfection.Its an inspiration for many. No matter what the people do for their loved ones they will feel small when compared to what Shajehan did for Mumtaz Mahal by creating the Taj Mahal.
Only wish there was a mention of the names of those people who erected such a phenomenal work of art. A little placard having a list of those thousands of people who made it what it is today. Can we ever locate those experts ? Its a pity we can't. Kudos to them for all it is now. They sure deserve the credit. People come in bulk to have a glimpse of it throughout the year. They walk barefoot on the hot marble to feel the experience of being inside the monument. In summers it burns n in winters it seems as if we are walking on frozen ice. What a contrast of extremes. Are the people driven by love or curiosity thats the question. It drives them to love with a new outlook and possibilities or makes them materialistic that can never be guaged. The calmness and serenity serenades in the milieu. People throng to click pictures with elation in a place which is nothing but a grave of two lovers. Their are voices all over the place which kills the essence of the emotion which can be just felt and revered .
Why is it till date that money and name is given precedence over creativity ?
