Taj Mahal Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

The Taj Mahal (/ˈtɑːdʒ məˈhɑːl/ often /ˈtɑːʒ/;, from Persian and Arabic, "crown of palaces", pronounced [ˈt̪aːdʒ mɛˈɦɛl]; also "the Taj") is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles.In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.

#Quote
1[on dealing with traumas in his life] You had to get over the bad stuff and get on with life, but I had a long memory. I came to see it as a message from my ancient culture in Mali, West Africa: that I could be a griot [storyteller] and put it to work in the right place. That's what I finally did.
2[on his looking beyond conventional tastes toward new interpretations] Red is not the only color in a stained-glass window. It's about the tradition moving forward under its own agenda.
3I didn't fit into a particular category. I tried for years to fit into what everybody else was doing and became completely frustrated. I thought there was something wrong with me, but actually there was something right. The whole point is to find our own road and not follow everybody else like some fashion monkey - and to feel lucky that that your music doesn't sound the same every time you play it.
4The common musical language of my parent's generation was jazz but I'm the result of something that came about between my mother's American southern roots and my father's Caribbean background. I was born in the early 1940s on a 45-degree angle, headed towards education, civil rights and much more understanding of African-Americans' place in the African diaspora.
5I enjoy music wherever it's coming from. I don't care if it's somebody else's song. Most of the time you'll find that I'll put my own stamp on it. But I started writing more because, you know, it's easy to regurgitate what somebody else is doing, but it's exciting to be able to come up with your own.
