The Taj: an Architectural Marvel Or an Epitome of Love?
Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 7(9): 367-374, 2013 ISSN 1991-8178 The Taj: An Architectural Marvel or an Epitome of Love? Arshad Islam Head, Department of History & Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia Abstract: On Saturday 7th July 2007, the New Seven Wonders Foundation, Switzerland, in its new ranking, again declared the Taj Mahal to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal is not just an architectural feat and an icon of luminous splendour, but an epitome of enormous love as well. The Mughal Emperor Shahjahan (1592-1666) built the Taj Mahal, the fabulous mausoleum (rauza), in memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631). There is perhaps no better and grander monument built in the history of human civilization dedicated to love. The contemporary Mughal sources refer to this marvel as rauza-i-munavvara (‘the illumined tomb’); the Taj Mahal of Agra was originally called Taj Bibi-ka-Rauza. It is believed that the name ‘Taj Mahal’ has been derived from the name of Mumtaz Mahal (‘Crown Palace’). The pristine purity of the white marble, the exquisite ornamentation, use of precious gemstones and its picturesque location all make Taj Mahal a marvel of art. Standing majestically at the southern bank on the River Yamuna, it is synonymous with love and beauty. This paper highlights the architectural design and beauty of the Taj, and Shahjahan’s dedicated love for his beloved wife that led to its construction. Key words: INTRODUCTION It is universally acknowledged that the Taj Mahal is an architectural marvel; no one disputes it position as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and it is certainly the most fêted example of the considerable feats of Mughal architecture.

Tracing the Trajectory of Science and Technology in Mughal India
Episteme: an online interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary & multi-cultural journal Bharat College of Arts & Commerce, Badlapur, MMR, India Volume 4, Issue 2 September 2015 TRACING THE TRAJECTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN MUGHAL INDIA By Dr. Y Samuel P W Abstract: It is interesting to look at a very fascinating period of Indian history in the medieval times viz the Mughal rule and to trace the trajectory of the growth of science and technology during the Mughal period of Indian history. During the Mughal rule of India, science and technology developed mainly due to the interests of Emperors and Sultans, particularly in astronomy, agriculture, engineering, architecture and medicine. A number of encyclopaedias and dictionaries were penned. Initially dictionaries were needed as new ideas were being developed as a result of interaction between Sanskrit and other languages. During the later period of Mughal rule, new ideas were accepted from European science and technology. This paper attempts to examine the growth of science and technology during the Mughal period in areas such as Astronomy, Alchemy, and Waterworks. The Mughal Emperors (1526- 1858) took a keen interest in the development ofastronomy. They patronized astronomers in their royal courts. The works thus producedwere mainly zijes (astronomical tables) and calendars. The Mughals had great technological achievements in the manufacture of military materials such Damascus steel for sword blades, Cannon foundries which created temperatures as high as 2400 degree Fahrenheit, Volley guns which had multiple gun barrels, and metal cylinder Rockets used particularly by Emperor Akbar against war elephants. The Mughals had made great advances in the field of metallurgy.

AP Art History Course and Exam Description South, East, and Southeast Asia
The AP Art History Curriculum Framework CONTENT AREA 8 South, East, and Southeast Asia 300 B.C.E.–1980 C.E. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING 8-1. The arts of South, East, and Southeast Asia represent some of the world’s oldest, most diverse, and most sophisticated visual traditions. ▶ Essential Knowledge 8-1a. South, East, and Southeast Asia have long traditions of art making, reaching back into prehistoric times. The earliest known ceramic vessels were found in Asia: fired shards from Yuchanyan Cave in China have been dated to 18,300 and 17,500 B.C.E., followed by Jomon vessels from Japan with shards dating back to 10,500 B.C.E. Sophisticated Neolithic and Bronze Age civilizations thrived across Asia, including the Indus Valley civilization in Pakistan and India, the Yangshao* and Longshan* cultures and Shang Dynasty* in China, the Dongson* culture in Southeast Asia, and the Yayoi* and Kofun* cultures in Japan. ▶ Essential Knowledge 8-1b. The people and cultures of these regions were diverse, but prehistoric and ancient societies based in key regions (e.g., the Indus River Valley, Gangetic Plain, and Yellow River) developed core social and religious beliefs that were embraced across larger cultural spheres, helping to shape the regional identities of people within Asia. ▶ Essential Knowledge 8-1c. The core cultural centers in Asia became home to many of the world’s great civilizations and ruling dynasties, including the following: Gupta India, Han China, Khmer Cambodia, and Heian Japan. The shared cultural ideas in each region and civilization gave birth to visual traditions that employed related subjects, functions, materials, and artistic styles.
