A miracle in marble! A dream in marble! A poem! Lavishly praised by countless critics, connoisseurs and commoners, the Taj Mahal has stayed as one of the world s architectural wonders ever since the day of its completion in 1648. And is unmistakably one of the outstanding creations in the whole spectrum of Islamic architecture in India. For its richness, evocative aesthetic appeal and prodigiousness, it counts among man s proudest creations. This magnificent mausoleum, built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan to memorialize his love for the queen, took seventeen years to complete. Even if the contemporary sources refer to this most exquisite specimen of human architecture as Illuminated Tomb (rauza-i-munavvara), it is popularly known as Taj Mahal, obviously deriving its name from the title of the queen: Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj is not just architecture, but, in Sir Arnold Edwin s word, the proud passion of an Emperor s love . It is love made tangible, crystallized. Volumes have been written on the monument. And language has been almost exhausted in its praise. This book, yet another addition to the numerous writings on the Taj, is one of the very few scientific, at once authentic documentation of the art, architecture and conservation of this truly impressive creation. It is the first systematic account of the Taj Mahal and its conservation since mid-17th century. Focusing, simultaneously, on the diverse architectural components of this unique mausoleum, it examines the tradition and style adopted by its architects. The outcome of the author s close, personal observation of the monument, the book also brings out various scientific studies relating to its structural stability, the nature of its foundations and building materials, verticality of its minarets, and several other aspects. The book is enriched with many exquisite photographs all in colour. Dr D. Dayalan is Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India, Agra Circle, Agra.

Heritage Conservation in Postcolonial India seeks to position the conservation profession within historical, theoretical, and methodological frames to demonstrate how the field has evolved in the postcolonial decades and follow its various trajectories in research, education, advocacy, and practice. Split into four sections, this book covers important themes of institutional and programmatic developments in the field of conservation; critical and contemporary challenges facing the profession; emerging trends in practice that seek to address contemporary challenges; and sustainable solutions to conservation issues. The cases featured within the book elucidate the evolution of the heritage conservation profession, clarifying the role of key players at the central, state, and local level, and considering intangible, minority, colonial, modern, and vernacular heritages among others. This book also showcases unique strands of conservation practice in the postcolonial decades to demonstrate the range, scope, and multiple avenues of development in the last seven decades. An ideal read for those interested in architecture, planning, historic preservation, urban studies, and South Asian studies.

An enduring monument of haunting beauty, the Taj Mahal seems a symbol of stability itself. The familiar view of the glowing marble mausoleum from the gateway entrance offers the very picture of permanence. And yet this extraordinary edifice presents a shifting image to observers across time and cultures. The meaning of the Taj Mahal, the perceptions and responses it prompts, ideas about the building and the history that shape them: these form the subject of Giles Tillotson’s book. More than a richly illustrated history—though it is that as well—this book is an eloquent meditation on the place of the Taj Mahal in the cultural imagination of India and the wider world. Since its completion in 1648, the mausoleum commissioned by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, has come to symbolize many things: the undying love of a man for his wife, the perfection of Mughal architecture, the ideal synthesis of various strands of subcontinental aesthetics, even an icon of modern India itself. Exploring different perspectives brought to the magnificent structure—by a Mughal court poet, an English Romantic traveler, a colonial administrator, an architectural historian, or a contemporary Bollywood filmmaker—this book is an incomparable guide through the varied and changing ideas inspired by the Taj Mahal, from its construction to our day. In Tillotson’s expert hands, the story of a seventeenth-century structure in the city of Agra reveals itself as a story about our own place and time.

'Marble enigma, most photographed of structures, the Taj Mahal lends its name to a prime brand of Indian tea bags and stands too as the world's great, extravagant monument to eternal love. This wry, brisk book is a delightful and fascinating excavation of the Taj Mahal's many layers of meanings. Giles Tillotson deploys his formidable knowledge of India's artistic and cultural history to create a kaleidoscopic interpretation of the Taj - revealing what it meant to the Mughal world that conceived and built it; to the British colonists who cavorted amidst its grounds and minarets, then set about to preserve it; and to the many millions who now come every year to gawp and touch and click. With delicacy, creation, and yet succeeds in keeping its unworldly aura intact.'' Sunil Khilnani, author of The Idea of India
