Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions (42 to 47):
The
Taj Mahal has become one of the world’s best known monuments. This domed white
marble structure is situated on a high plinth at the southern end of
four-quartered garden, evoking the gardens of paradise, enclosed within walls
measuring 305 by 549 meters. Outside the walls, in an area known as Mumtazabad,
were living quarters for attendants, market, serials and other structures built
by local merchants and nobles. The tomb complex and the other imperial
structures of Mumtazabad were maintained by the income of thirty villages given
specifically for the tomb’s support. The name Taj Mahal is unknown in Mughal
chronicles, but it is used by contemporary Europeans in India, suggesting that
this was the tomb’s popular name. in contemporary texis, it is generally called
simply the illuminated Tomb (Rauza-i-Munavvara).
Mumtaz
Mahal died shortly after delivering her fourteenth child in 1631. The Mughal
court was then residing in Buhanpur. Her remains were temporarily buried by the
grief stricken emperor in a spacious garden known as Zainabad on the bank of
the river Tapti. Six months later her body was transported to Agra, where it
was interred in land chosen for the mausoleum. This land, situated south of the
Mughal city on the bank of the Jamuna, had belonged to the Kachwaha rajas since
the time of Raja Man Singh and was purchased from the then current raja, Jai
Singh. Although contemporary chronicles indicate Jai Singh’s willing
cooperation in this exchange, extantfarmans (imperial
commands) indicate that the final price was not settled until almost two years
after the mausoleum’s commencement. Jai Singh’s further cooperation was insured
by imperial orders issued between 1632 and 1637 demanding that the provide
stone masons and carts to transport marble from the mines at Makrana, within
his “ancestral domain”, to Agra where both the Taj Mahal and Shah Jahan’s
additions to the Agra fort were constructed concurrently.
Work
on the mausoleum was commenced early in 1632. Inscriptional evidence indicates
much of the tomb was completed by 1636. By 1643, when Shah Jahan most lavishly
celebrated the ‘Urs ceremony for Mumtaz Mahal’, the entire complex was
virtually complete.
