英语词汇taj mahal的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan built the magnificent Taj Mahal to commemorate his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, whose title was Taj Mahal, Crown of the Palace. The mausoleum near Agra, India was begun by the Turkish or Persian architect Us- tad Isa three years after Mumtaz died in 1632 and completed by about 1650, nearly 20 years later. The royal lovers are buried in a vault beneath the floor in the octagonal tomb chamber, sur- rounded by what many consider to be the finest example of ro- mantic architecture in the world. If any structure proves that beauty can be the sole function of a building, it is this spectacu- lar edifice, which is actually more a sculpture than architecture. The great tomb, the luxurious gardens, even the four 133-foot- high minarets at the great tomb’s corners, were all built for beauty alone, at a cost of some $15 million.
