Shah Jahan and the Taj Mahal

Abstract

The Taj Mahal is surely one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in the world, but we should not overlook the garden that was once beautifully created by Shah Jahan for the memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal.
Compared with the original plan, the garden has changed through the ages, but if we observe the garden carefully, we can still recognize the original spacial design of the garden. The marble tank which is placed in the center of the garden especially breaks the simplicity of the large plain garden.
