Taj Mahal - The Epitome of Love by banerjeesantanu



Taj Mahal (Agra, India), in Black & White. Every artist both national & international, takes pictures of Taj Mahal "the epitome of love". You will find thousands of pictures of the White marble mausoleum, the located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. However I wanted to experiment it with Black & white giving it a really different tone. To add some drama. The Image you see above is taken as it is including the dramatic Sky. Nothing is altered. Hope you all love my experiment with B&W. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS & LIKES. REGARDS, SANTANU BANERJEE If you like my work, follow me on my Facebook Page via 500px http://j.mp/1toFaZK

The Tomb of Akbar the Great by mirosu



This Mughal Architectural masterpiece tomb was built 1605–1613. It is located on the old NH2 highway from Agra to Delhi in Sikandra near Mathura, which is actually a suburb of Agra in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Akbar the Great himself planned his own tomb and selected the present site for it. After his death, his son Jahangir completed the construction in 1605-1613. Akbar was one of the greatest emperors of his time. The south gate (on the photo) is the largest, with four white marble-topped minarets which are similar to those of the Taj Mahal (which was built few decades later), and the gates normal point of entry to the tomb. The tomb itself is surrounded by a walled enclosure (105m square). The building is made up of red sandstones (the same material as used for construction of Agra Fort and Delhi Fort) with touches of white marble. via 500px http://j.mp/1pkwKQe

The resting place of Arjumand by dougi555



Born as Arjumand Banu Begum in Agra in a family of Persian nobility as a daughter of Abdul Hasan Asaf Khan, making her a niece and later daughter-in-law of Empress Nur Jehan, the wife of the emperor Jahangir. Arjumand Banu Begum was married at the age of 19, on 10 May 1612, to Prince Khurram, known as Shah Jahan, who conferred upon her the title "Mumtaz Mahal". Though betrothed to Shah Jahan in 1607, she ultimately became his second wife in 1612 and was his favorite. She died in Burhanpur in the Deccan (now in Madhya Pradesh) during the birth of their fourteenth child, a daughter named Gauhara Begum. Mumtaz Mahal mothered fourteen children by Shah Jahan, including Aurangzeb, the son who temporarily succeeded Shah Jahan until deposed by his brother and the Imperial Prince Dara Shikoh, the heir apparent anointed by Shah Jahan and Jahanara Begum, the Imperial Princess. via 500px http://j.mp/1dCRlbl
