Il Taj Mahal è un mausoleo situato ad Agra, nell'India settentrionale, costruito nel 1632 dall'imperatore moghul Sh?h Jah?n in memoria dell'amatissima moglie. Compreso dal 9 dicembre 1983 nella lista dei patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO e inserito nel 2007 fra le nuove sette meraviglie del mondo, è da sempre considerato uno delle più notevoli bellezze dell'architettura musulmana in India. Il Taj Mahal venne costruito utilizzando materiali provenienti da ogni parte dell'India e dell'Asia. Oltre 1.000 elefanti e bufali vennero impiegati durante le costruzioni per il trasporto delle materie prime. Il marmo bianco venne portato da Makrana, il diaspro dal Punjab e la giada e il cristallo dalla Cina. I turchesi erano originari del Tibet e i lapislazzuli dell'Afghanistan, gli zaffiri venivano da Sri Lanka e la corniola dall'Arabia. In tutto 28 diversi tipi di pietre preziose e semi-preziose vennero incastonati nel marmo bianco per un costo totale stimato all'epoca intorno ai 32 milioni di rupie, che sarebbero circa 70 miliardi di rupie indiane, cioè 951.878.873,46 dollari statunitensi (783.871.241,21 euro). L'unico materiale locale utilizzato fu l'arenaria rossa, che decora le diverse strutture del complesso. Una ragione della straordinarietà dell'opera è la perfetta geometria delle sue forme e la ricerca quasi ossessiva della simmetria. Ma la vera particolarità del Taj Mahal è la sua capacità di presentarsi con un aspetto sempre differente a seconda del momento in cui lo si osserva. Infatti, il sottile gioco di luci e ombre sul delicato marmo di cui è rivestita l'intera struttura, complici anche le pietre semi-preziose incastonate al suo interno, si presenta sempre diverso agli occhi dell'osservatore. A seconda dell'ora del giorno in cui è osservato, il Taj Mahal assume una colorazione bianca, rosa o dorata. Per evitare che la bellezza dell'opera fosse uguagliata, l'imperatore ordinò che al completamento del complesso le mani degli artisti che ci lavorarono fossero mozzate e che il progettista fosse decapitato. Alcuni studiosi tuttavia ritengono che si tratti di una leggenda priva di alcun fondamento. Il complesso, per le sue caratteristiche, riuscì ad impressionare diversi artisti occidentali: a causa della sua perfetta simmetria e della struttura tripartita molto simile agli archi di trionfo, infatti, riuscì a guadagnarsi l'ammirazione di numerosi artisti neoclassici europei. Contemporaneamente, tuttavia, riuscì anche a catturare l'immaginazione dei romantici, attratti dal fatto che il complesso fosse stato costruito in onore di una donna, diventando così un "tempio all'amore" agli occhi degli artisti romantici

Stunning photography 8-)
I find it very particular
For the way it is composed you stop to look at it carefully. It is rich in details, the reflection is very beautiful, the crystal clear water with its color and then my gaze is attracted by people and there a strange feeling is triggered, I expect movement. A long time that transforms the crowd into a somewhat indistinct shade and instead they are still, but this feeling continues and then it seems that the towers on the sides are moved, but you fix your gaze and the detail is perfect ahaha
What a strange :-D
How our expectation influences the perception of the image
Then also the marble walkway to the side, that too is an element that in my opinion makes the gaze bounce back to the center
Certainly effective, at least, I repeat, for me haha
A very dear greeting and have a good weekend :-D
