Answer:
As you can imagine, the Taj Mahal required a lot of people for its manufacture. The specialists of each profession were called to work on a site that brings together the peak of its activities up to 20,000 people. It was started in 1631. 17 years later, in 1648, the mausoleum hand was completed. The complete site was completed in 1653, 5 years later, the years that were used to build the enclosure, the ancillary buildings, and especially the gardens.
The construction
Once the foundations were made, the walls of the mausoleum as well as the mosque, the guest house and the door were built. They are red, a stone made of compressed sand that can be of great strength. The bricks were sealed with mortar, in a very classic way. To climb on the highest parts the workers used scaffolding, probably bamboos, but also bricks, the latter serving both to help the building and the construction itself. This technique of elevation by brick scaffolding is however questionable, it is more likely that they were made of bamboo.
The style
The architecture of the Taj Mahal is clearly Indo-Islamic. It is a style combining Hindu art, traditional in this territory, and Islamic, this religion has been conveyed so far. The mixture of the two allowed a reinterpretation of the many Hindu traditions in an Islamic form that dominated the region since the time of the Delhi Sultanate (1192 - 1451). Subsequently the Mughal Empire took over and Indo-Islamic art took various forms depending on the political climate of the time. Thus with the first emperor Bâbur this style was little used, while under Akbar, it was greatly. The territory, historically populated by non-Muslims, delivered a workforce that was not used to Islamic style. However, it was under the direction of Muslim artists that they were built, hence these intertwined vegetation, this work of lapidary marquetry and the dome of lotus which is the flagship of Taj Mahal, synthesis of Islamic art and Hindu.
Cost of the construction
How much did it cost to build the Taj Mahal? This is a question that is not so difficult to answer because the work was the subject of a transaction between the site manager and the craftsmen from all over to work on it. Thanks to these lists, of Persian origin, we have an idea of the cost of Taj Mahal. It is a little over 41,848,426 Rupees.
In fact, the funds for the construction of the Taj Mahal were provided by the Royal Treasury of the Emperor and the Treasury of the Government of the Province of Agra (subah Akbarabad) and the accounts were scrupulously kept by Lala Rudra Das. The main sources of expenditure were the cost of stones and wages paid to the workers. Stock and labor, there is nothing so modern since ...
Cost of each part of the complex has been calculated separately, for example the cost of the marble base (chhakka) with the 4 minarets is given to 5 177,674 rupees, that of the main tomb is 5,345,361 Rupees. The famous balustrade which surrounds the two cenotaphs cost 468 855 Rupees. About 50 sources of expenditure have been made and the total cost of building the Taj Mahal is RUB 41,848,426. He was paid 466.55 kg of gold from the royal treasury.
