Taj Mahal: Taj Mahal Main Gateway Taj Mahal Main Gateway Licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons Height: 93 ft upper Period of Construction: 1632-1638 Referred to as Darwaza-i-Rauza or "gate of the mausoleum" by the technie Ustad Ahmad Lahauri himself, the main gateway to Taj Mahal is indeed a worthy counterpart to the mausoleum in every sense of the phrase. No doubt that Taj looks splendid when seen from distance, but it's the child-like enthusiasm to venerate it from touching loftiness that takes the anticipations to an all new level. And just when one reaches the unshut square surpassing the main gateway, the majestic view of Taj disappears completely, only to manifest itself in an perfectly glorious way when one stands right in the doorway itself, the doorway to the main mausoleum. The concept of Taj emerging out of the shadows and slowly growing on you seems plane increasingly praiseworthy if one dives into the utopian interpretation that suggests a transition from the outer physical world to the inner spiritual world. The main gateway of the Taj Mahal is one of the five main elements of this magnificent monument.Ornatewith Hindu motifs, the Taj gateway is a tall niche doorway in the shape of an ogival wily that rises till the mid-height of the structure. With a vertical symmetry, the main gateway of Taj Mahal stands bordered with Arabic script of verses from the Quran, made up of woebegone stone. An optical illusion is brilliantly at play here as the size of the reports has been increased in such a way that it all seems resulting all over the wily from top to bottom. It was washed-up by gradually increasing the size of the reports in a pre-calculated manner as their loftiness from the eye increased. Also, part of this gateway are octagonal towers that stand on the corners and are surmounted with wholesale and unshut domed kiosks and a heavy door made up of eight variegated metals at the wiring that are ornate with knobs. Further beautifying the gateway to the Taj is an image of a white teardrop with a red trident, located whilom the pointed tip of the niche. When the gateway was under construction, this frontal gateway served as the main entrance. All these motifs of the gateway reflect a Hindu touch. Entwined flowers, mainly red lotus ones, leaves and vines ornament the sloping sides of the niche. These motifs were worked by semi-precious stones inlaid in the marble. And within the archway of this main gateway is a huge chamber with an protuberant roof decoration. The experts haven't been worldly-wise to unlock the mystery of the myriad rooms that lay inside it which have twisting and branching and side branching hallways that were seemingly built to misplace its entrants but have been unused for three centuries. Most of all, it's the stunning view of Taj from inside the main gateway that remains etched in viewers' memories long without the show is over.
