EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1906, showcases the exquisite screen inside the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Agra, India. The Taj Mahal, completed in 1653, is a mausoleum built by the Indian Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The complex is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate decorative arts, and white marble construction. The screen in this image is a prime example of the intricate tracery and pierced jali work that adorns the interior of the Taj Mahal. Jali work is a traditional Indian art form characterized by the use of pierced stone or metal screens, which allow light to filter through intricate patterns. This screen, located before the cenotaphs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan, adds an additional layer of visual interest and beauty to the already breathtaking interior. The screen's delicate tracery and intricate patterns are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans who worked on the Taj Mahal. The screen's design is reminiscent of the iwan, or arched entrance, found in traditional Islamic architecture, and adds to the overall sense of grandeur and elegance within the mausoleum. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic heritage of the Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and devotion that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
