UBbi Ka Kaqbara ngumTaj Mahal ompofu - ngokoqobo
I- Taj Mahal ngokungangabazeki ibonakaliso ebonakalayo e-India, kodwa wazi ukuthi akuyona kuphela i-mausoleum e-India? I-Case in point: Bibi Ka Maqbara, engamakhilomitha angaba ngu-200 empumalanga ye-Mumbai e-Aurangabad, Maharashtra, akuyona nje into efana neTaj Mahal yangempela, kodwa futhi uhlanganyela ngokufanayo.
Umlando kaBbi Ka Kaqbara
Eyaziwa ngokuzenzekelayo njengoba kokubili "i-Fake Taj Mahal" ne-"Taj Mahal Empofu", uBiki Ka Maqbara wakhiwa ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-17 nguMughal Emperor Aurangzeb, ngokukhumbula umkakhe wokuqala, u-Dilras Banu Begum.
I-Taj Mahal, njengoba ungase uyikhumbule kusukela ekilasini lomlando, nayo yakhiwe ngumbusi weMughal njengesikhumbuzo komunye wabafazi bakhe - u-Shah Jahan kuMamtaz Mahal (owesibili).
Lokhu kungase kubonakale sengathi kuhambisana ngokuqondile (ngisho ukuthi, yini okungenzeka ukuthi abakwaMughal bafanele bakwenze ngaleso sikhathi kunokwakha izikhumbuzo kubafazi babo abafile?) Kuze kube yilapho ubheka ukuthi u-Shah Jahan wayengunina ka-Aurangzeb. Inkulumo ethi "njengobaba, njengendodana" ibonakala ifaneleka lapha.
I-Fake Taj Mahal Architecture
Nakuba uBibi Ka Maqbara ubonakala sengathi ungumqambimanga weTaj Mahal, ukwakhiwa kwawo kwaqala ngomqondo wokuthi ngempela uzoba mkhulu, kokubili ngokomlando nangokwesimo sokuhlonipha, kuya ku-Taj yangempela. Ukwahlukana okucashile phakathi kukaTaj Mahal noBibi Ka Maqbara kubangelwa izimbangela eziningana.
Isizathu sokuqala esidlule sikhulu kakhulu kunalokho okushiwo ukuthi i-Aurangzeb inqume ukuvinjelwa kwemali ebhajethi ekwakhiweni ngemuva nje kokuqala.
Okwesibili, ukubaluleka kokwakhiwa kwezindlu kwakunqamuke ngesikhathi sokubusa kwamaMughals kamuva, okwaholela ezakhiweni ezingabonakali kakhulu futhi ezicacile, kokubili ekuklanyeni nasekusebenzeni.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukungahloniphi kukaBibi Ka Maqbara kuye kwaholela ekunakekelweni okuncane nokulondoloza kahle, okwehluleka kwakhe okwamanje ukuqinisa ukwehla kwakhe uma kuqhathaniswa neTaj Mahal.
Indlela Yokuvakashela I-Fake Taj Mahal
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha ukuyibiza ngokuthi "I-Taj Mahal Inkohliso," "U-Taj Mahal Ompofu" noma ngegama layo elifanele, uBbi Ka Kaqbara kulula ukuvakashela. Ukusuka e-Mumbai, fly (imizuzu engu-55), ushayela (amahora angu-3-5) noma uthathe isitimela esivamile (amahora angu-7) uye e-Aurangabad, bese uqasha itekisi noma i-tuk-tuk emasoshenium.
Ngikisela ukuthi ufike ku-Taj Mahal ekhohlisayo ekuseni kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka. Njengoba kunjalo ku-Agra, ikhaya le-Taj Mahal langempela, akukhona yonke into ongayibona ku-Aurangbad, i-mausoleum nokho.
