The Taj Mahal


March 2023 CE (Chaitra 1945 SE) - Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh
"
An idyllic walk down the battered roads of Agra, by and by,
led to the Mausoleum of the Emperor's ladylove. 
And lo, this glittering monument of beauty,
more a symbol of skill and power, than love.


Pages of praise, poignant and poetic mark this Mahal's story, 
where medieval engineering married opulent endeavor.
The Mughals left, so did the British, with no sorry,
Yet this timeless grandeur flourishes with matchless measure.


The outward pointed Minars and the Bulbous Ivory White Double Dome,
the Pristine Pietra Dura  and the Joyful Jali work;
Here, the nightmares of reality are toyed by dreams that roam,
and sheer marvel and appreciation make their mark.
 

On the banks of Yamuna, refusing to be ravaged by the tests of time;
stands this Wonder of the World, in all glory and prime.
