Tarun
studies in class five. His teacher has given a task to the students of his
class. He has told them to write a paragraph on the Taj Mahal. But Tarun does
not know much about the Taj Mahal. He only knows that it is a beautiful
monument situated in Agra. Worried, he came back home in the evening and asked
his grandfather:
"Grandfather,
can you tell me something about Taj Mahal?"
Tarun's
grandfather was a retired teacher. He knew a lot about this beautiful
monument. He
smiled and said,
"Ok. If
you promise to be a good boy, will tell you many things about the Taj,"
Tarun
promised not to be naughty. So, his grandfather began to tell him the story of
Taj Mahal.
"Once
upon a time there lived a prince named Khurram. He was the son of Jehangir, and
the grandson of Akbar the Great. One day Khurram went to the Meena Bazaar with
his friends. There he caught a glimpse of an extremely beautiful girl who was
selling silk and glass beads. The girl was Arjumand Banu Begum. She was born in
a family of a Persian nobility. After meeting her, Khurram went back to his
father and said that he wanted to marry her. Khurram married Arjumand Banu
Begum in 1612, five years after their first meeting."
At this
point Tarun stopped his grandfather:
"But,
grandfather, I don't want to hear the story of prince Khurram. I want know
about the Taj Mahal."
"Be
patient, Tarun. Let me finish the whole story," said his grandfather.
"All right" said Tarun.
His
grandfather continued with the story.
"Prince
Khurram was later known as Shah Jahan. He became the emperor in the year 1628.
Arjumand Banu Begum was later renamed as Mumtaz Mahal." "But what
does the name Mumtaz Mahal mean?"asked Tarun.
"It
means the brightest crown of the world," answered his grandfather.
Then he
continued with his tale, "When Mumtaz was on her deathbed, Shah Jahan promised
her that he would not marry again. He also promised her that he would build the
most beautiful mausoleum over her grave.

"What
is a mausoleum, grandfather?" asked Tarun in surprise.
the court to
mourn for two years. Later, Shah Jahan started to build the world's
"Oh! A
mausoleum is a building built to house the dead," said grandfather.
According to legends, Shah Jahan was so sad after her death that he ordered
most beautiful monument beside the river Yamuna in memory of his beloved wife.
It took 22 years and 22,000 workers to build the monument. The Taj Mahal was
built entirely out of white marble. This white marble was brought in from all
over Asia. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, his body was placed next to the grave
of Mumtaz Mahal. This magnificent monument came to be known as the Taj Mahal.
It is now considered to be one among the seven wonders of the World.
Grandfather paused for a moment. 'Well, have told you quite a lot today. Will
this be helpful enough?"
"Oh
yes, now I can easily write a paragraph on the Taj Mahal," said Tarun
happily.
