Quote:Not everything is to do with religion.
Indeed, but the Taj Mahal is,on a level. The design reflects the Muslim view of paradise. On a personal level,more likely an expression of the massive ego and obsessive love of Shah Jihan for his dead wife Mumtaz Mahal. Plus of course a political statement of power,as is invariably the case with virtually all monumental architecture.
Quote:So my question is, should celebrities/visitors be told that it's a religious palace rather than a historical palace?
Gee,I don't know. Do you think it's possible it could be both?
