  • Research Paper REGENERATION of TRADITIONAL MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE
    IJERSS Volume 1 | Issue 3 March 2014 Research Paper REGENERATION OF TRADITIONAL MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE AT YAMUNA RIVER FRONT, KeyWords : Mughal, Traditional AGRA Architecture, Architectural Identity , Preservation Mohd Khalid Hasan Department of Architecture, Z.H. College Engineering & Technology,Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India ABSTRACT India has been the home of many civilizations throughout the centuries and is loaded with substantial cultural and traditional accumulation. Settlements in different regions of India are the most significant indicators of this accumulation. These civilizations developed a strong traditional architectural heritage over a period of time in different parts of India and Mughal Architecture is one of them. This traditional architecture is being seriously threatened by the outpouring of modern ideas and space-age technology. The dilution effects are most visible i.e. the import of modern materials, the dependence on modern technology, / ignorance of traditional architecture and the shrinking number of artisans have all contributed to the deterioration of our traditional building styles and practices. To maintain our sovereign and independent identity one must sense the danger of losing traditional values and culture and right steps to be taken to preserve and promote the distinctive identity. This paper would be high lighting traditional architecture developed along the Yamuna River during Mughal period and the site can be regenerated to preserve the glory of past Mughal traditional architecture. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Traditional Architecture of Mughal period in India is a pattern of resource that was developed in response to various factors to meet human needs of the time.

  • 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.
