Book Synopsis A Teardrop on the Cheek of Time by : Diana Preston
Download or read book A Teardrop on the Cheek of Time written by Diana Preston and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize-winning poet Tagore called the Taj Mahal 'a teardrop on the cheek of time', the words inspired by the famous monument of flawless symmetry and elegance.It was built to mark the passionate love of a great Moghul emperor for his Empress. Yet the construction of this architectural jewel bankrupted the Moghul dynasty, set brother against brother and son against father in bloody conflict, and pushed the C17th's most powerful empire into religious fundamentalism and decline. Emperor Shah Jahan married Mumtaz Mahal in 1612 in an unusual love match. Jahan involved his wife on all matters of state, and she followed him on all his military campaigns in spite of being almost constantly pregnant. She bore him 14 children, but her sudden death in childbirth caused Jahan inconsolable grief. His only solace was in creating the perfect memorial to his lost love on the banks of the Jumna River at Agra. The mausoleum, made from milk-white marble and studded with a fortune in precious jewels, took 20 years to complete, involved over 20,000 labourers, and incurred catastrophic costs which led to bloody rebellion by the offspring of his own great love match. Shah Jahan spent his final years in captivity, imprisoned by his own son. The Moghul Empire, irrevocably weakened by anarchy, fratricide and savage warfare, was eventually destroyed by the British Empire while the Taj itself lived on, surviving to this day as a monument of unparalleled beauty.

Trapped in the shadow of the magnificent tomb their grief-stricken father is building for his beloved deceased wife, the emperor’s daughters compete for everything: control over the imperial harem, their father’s affection, and the future of their country.

Download or read book Mistress of the Throne written by Ruchir Gupta and published by Sristhi Publishers & Distributors. This book was released on 2014 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1631. The Empress of India – Mumtaz Mahal – has died. Yet, rather than anoint one of his several other wives to take her place as Empress of India, Mughal King Shah Jahan anoints his seventeen-year-old daughter Jahanara as the next Queen of India. Bearing an almost identical resemblance to her mother, Jahanara is the first ever daughter of a sitting Mughal King to be anointed queen. She is reluctant to accept this title, but does so in hopes of averting the storm approaching her family and Mughal India. Her younger siblings harbor extreme personalities – from a liberal multiculturalist (who views religion as an agent of evil) to an orthodox Muslim (who views razing non-Muslim buildings as divine will). Meanwhile, Jahanara struggles to come to terms with her own dark reality: as the daughter of a sitting King, she is forbidden to marry. Thus, while she lives in the shadow of her parents’ unflinching love story, she is devastated by the harsh reality that she is forbidden to share such a romance with another. Mistress of the Throne narrates the powerful story of one of India’s most opulent and turbulent times through the eyes of an unsuspecting character: a Muslim queen. It uses actual historical figures to illuminate the complexity of an era that has often been called “India’s Golden Age”.

Book Synopsis History of Decorative Art in Mughal Architecture by : Ajay Nath
Download or read book History of Decorative Art in Mughal Architecture written by Ajay Nath and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present work is an intensive study of the origin and development of the ornament in Mughal Architecture. It is the 'beautiful' which is most distinctive characteristic and the dominating theme of this style and it is this which primarily occupied contemplation of Mughal Builders. This 'beautiful' has not appeared in the Mughal Monuments unconsciously or by chance; this has been brought about with greatest amount of thought and planning through various means and methods.The Mughal Architects from Akbar to Shah Jehan worked out the minutest details of the structure and the surface which he intended to adorn. Mughals adopted almost all the decorative schemes, designs and motifs which were then known in the Orient. They used arch and dome, and also pillars, strut, chhatri and kalasa; inscriptions in Naskhi and Nastaliq characters, arabesque, stalactite and geometricals and also animate designs composed of hastin, makara, hansa, and mayura and symbolic motifs of the ancient Hindus such as kalasa, padma, gavaksa, kirttimukha, svastika, cakra and satkona - to quote some examples of his choice of ornament - is representative of lucid skill and amazing capacity to accept, adopt and assimilate.This book explains scores of obscure and controversial points and corrects the popular misnomers; it brings to light facts which were not known, e.g. the use by the Mughals of fabulous animals, Tantric symbols and Chinese Cloud forms to quote only a few examples. Study of this aspect of Mughal Architecture would help us to present the History of our Medieval culture in its true spirit and correct perspective.This title was published in 1980 and it is its updated second edition.
