INDIA TOUR- HOW ARCHITECTURE ROOTED IN ME

Back in 2017, I finished my school and that is when my dad took me for an India tour. My initial reaction to this was finally some time that I will get to spend with my parent after being away most of my childhood in a boarding school.

We covered almost all of north India and I got so mesmerized by the beauty of Indian architecture. The stop that smitten me the most was when I saw the Persian beauty through the arches of the western gate. Taj Mahal, the greatest achievement of India Architecture shimmering in Indo -Islamic design.

The views where breath taking like an artist’s painting. Its recognized architectonic beauty has a rhythmic combination of solids and voids, light and shadows, The arches and domes further increase the aesthetic aspect. The color combination of lush green scape, the reddish pathway and the blue sky over it show cases the monument in ever changing tints and moods. The relief work in marble and inlay with precious and semi-precious stones make it a stand out and unique in its own beauty.

The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main gate which stands majestically in the center of the southern wall of the forecourt. The Taj Mahal is a perfect symmetrical planned building, with an emphasis of bilateral symmetry along a central axis. The exquisite octagonal marble lattice screen encircling both cenotaphs is a piece of superb workmanship.

The whole experience of my visit to taj mahal was so poetic. The trip that started as a time with my family ended up with a newfound love in architecture.
