Chawri Bazar
Love how the father is the only one wearing a helmet.
Pictures taken while riding in a rickshaw, therefore they are not as sharp as I would like.
Chawri Bazar is a specialized wholesale market of brass, copper and paper products. Established in 1840, with a hardware market, it was the first wholesale market of Old Delhi it lies to the west of Jama Masjid in Delhi, lies. It can be reached by taking the street just near the middle projection of Jama Masjid's western (rear) wall. It was accessible via the Chawri Bazar underground station of the Delhi Metro.
Once popularly known for its dancing girls and courtesans in the 19th century, frequented by nobility and rich alike. After the advent of British as the tawaif culture faded out, subsequently prostitutes came to occupy the upper floors of the market. This eventually led to the area becoming hub of criminality and thus the Delhi Municipal Committee evicted them from the area, all together, the street is named after a Marathi word chawri, which means meeting place. The street got this name mainly because here a 'sabha' or meeting would take place in front of a noble's house and he would try settling the disputes before it would reach the emperor. A second reason is probably that a gathering used to get organized when a respected dancer performed and showed the finer nuances of her skill. The whole ambience of the street however got changed after the 1857 war when British destroyed many huge mansions of the nobles.
Today, Chawri Bazaar is a very busy road as laborers with their laden backs, cars, rickshaws, scooters and walkers almost battle for the passage during the peak market hours. Again it is also a wholesale market but you will be allowed to purchase a brass or copper idol of Lord Vishnu, Buddha and others. The shops also keep many useful items like jewelry boxes, vases, pots and oil lamps. However, at present Chawri Bazar is more known as the wholesale market of paper products than copper or brass. From beautiful wedding cards to attractive wallpapers to nice greetings to any types of papers required for any use, everything is available here in retail as well as in wholesale. Though the whole process is very exhausting but it will be a day to remember, as you will definitely enjoy it.
The Good Samaritan Parables and Stories
Jesus Christ used parables and stories to reveal deep spiritual concepts. His audience were the simple people, who lived ordinary lives in the villages around the Sea of Galilee and the land of Israel. Jesus showed fishermen, day laborers, farmers, and tax collectors how they could look around and see the Kingdom of God through stories about a flower, a bird, and a coin. The Pharisees, Saducees, and local rabbis had a ring-side seat at the invisible world of the Spirit. They strained at hearing, without comprehending the words of the Master Teacher. Jesus warned, “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”Matthew 13:13.
This eight coin set presents the wisdom and insight Jesus shared with His followers and disciples. Each is “a pearl of great price,” given to us to pull back the curtain into the heart and mind of God.
Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard and I will pay you whatever is right.' 5 So they went. "He went out again about thesixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. 6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' 7 " 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' 8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' 9 "The workers who were hired about t eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' 13 "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous? 16 Even so the last shall be the first and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen.” Coin: Roman Republican denarius 125 B.C.; Ser 146.
Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8-10)
8 "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Coin: Greek drachma; of Alexander Great;336 to 323 B.C.;Sear 5730.
Parable of the Talents (Luke 19:11-26)
11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' 14 "But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' 15"He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. 16 "The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' 17 " 'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.' 18 "The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' 19 "His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.' 20 "Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.' 22 "His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' 24 "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' 25 "'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' 26 "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. Coin: Greek gold stater of Phillip II; 359-336 B.C.;Sear 6663.
Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27 He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." Coin:Roman Republican denarius; 43 B.C. Sear 486.
Money Changers in the Temple (Matthew 21:12-13)
12 Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.' " Coin:Tetradrachm of Antiochus IV 179 B.C,; Sear 6980.
The Widow’s Mite (Mark 12:41-44)
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. 43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." Coin:Lepton of Alexander Jannaus 103 to 76 B.C ; Hendin 471.
The Coin in the Fish’s Mouth-The Temple Tax (Matthew 17:24-27)
24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax ?" 25 "Yes, he does," he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes--from their own sons or from others?" 26 "From others," Peter answered. "Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. 27 "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." Coin: Shekel of Tyre; 126 to 18 BC.; Sear 1763.
Caesar’s Tribute Penny (Matthew 22:15-22)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" 18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" 21 "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." 22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. Coin: Denarius of Tiberius 16 A.D.; Sear 5918.

Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named 'The Tramps' went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,' about the Zulu Tribe.
That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go...
Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that the majority of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community where, for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members.
Conversations and interviews with older members also indicate that in that era the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or 'Club.' The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Aid Society and other ward-based groups.
While the 'Group' marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King.
The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story (William Crawford - 1910, Peter Williams - 1912, and Henry Harris - 1914) were similarly attired.
1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.

Travel to NOLA - February 2024 - Krewe Of Zulu
Early in 1909, a group of laborers in a club named ?The Tramps? went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy that included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me' about the Zulu Tribe. According to legend, after seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. The rest, as they say, is history. Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians, however, seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that.
Conversations and interviews with older members indicate that, back in the day, the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or ?Club.? The Tramps were one such group. The group that founded Zulu was probably made up of both members from the Tramps and other ward-based groups and members of a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community. For a small amount of dues, members received financial help when they got sick or there was a funeral to pay for.
While the men marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King. The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story in the early days were similarly attired.
The year 1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.
Today Zulu is famous for their coconut throw ? quite possibly the most coveted throw in all of Mardi Gras. Zulu?s honor guard is called the Soulful Warriors; and they have characters including Big Shot, Witch Doctor, Ambassador, Mayor, Province Prince, Governor and Mr. Big Stuff.
The most famous Krewe of Zulu king was Louis Armstrong who reigned in 1949.
Year founded: 1909
Membership: 1500 male riders

Inscription in period ink on front: "Nelson Fulton"
With the mark from the removal of a tax stamp on back
*****
Nelson G. Fulton was born in West Mertans, Indiana County, Pennsylvania about 1839. The census of 1860 shows him living with his parents, William and Mary A. Fulton, in Saltsburg, Conemaugh Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Also in the household were his two younger sisters, 12-year-old Mary D. Fulton and 8-year-old Margaret (Maggie) L. Fulton.
As a result of an accident caused by an explosion of powder while blasting rocks in 1854, his father was entirely blinded in one eye, and severely injured in the other. As a result, his father had to abandon his trade as a butcher and was unable to labor sufficiently to support himself and his family. Nelson, then about 15 years old, stepped up to fill the void as family breadwinner. By working at a neighboring farm at different periods for the next five of six years he was able to earn wages, which amounted on an average to about $8 per month that he gave to his parents.
The summer of 1861 found him in Bluffton, Wells County, Indiana. How he came to be there is not known, but on July 10, 1861 he enlisted at Madison, Indiana for 3 years in Company H, 22nd Indiana Infantry. He was listed as 22 years old. He stood 5 feet 6 inches tall, had a sanguine complexion, hazel eyes, and dark hair. The regiment was mustered into Federal service on August 15, 1861. Even though he was now in the army, Fulton continued to contribute money to his parents' support. He sent home an average of $10 per month out of his $13 monthly pay.
Now a part of the Union Army, the 22nd Indiana was sent west to Missouri and with the rest of the Union Forces, eventually pushed its way south into Arkansas. Late in the year, Fulton was detailed as a Regimental Teamster driving a supply wagon for the army. He continued on this duty into early 1862, sometimes being away from his company in the process. In March 1862 he was still on detached duty as a Brigade Teamster so it is not clear if he was present when the 22nd Indiana took part in its first significant combat at the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas on March 7 and 8, 1862, which succeeded in keeping the southerners out of Missouri for the next two years.
By late spring 1862, the regiment moved to Mississippi and joined in the Union siege of Corinth. The 22nd Indiana also took part in the battles at Perryville, Kentucky in October 1862 in which it lost very heavily, and at Stones River, Tennessee on New Year's 1863 where it again was heavily engaged. Fulton apparently came through both fights without incident.
On July 23, 1863 Fulton was sent to the Field Hospital for some unspecified complaint. But by September 7, 1863 he was back to being detailed as a Company Teamster. Sometime during his enlistment Fulton ended up changing from Company H to Company I. Whether this was due to his transfer, or if it was just a matter of a change in designation of the organization is not clear. It may have happened as a result oh his reenlistment as a Veteran Volunteer on December 23, 1863 at Blain's Cross Roads, Tennessee. His new descriptive list, created in December 1863, was slightly different from the one created at the time of his original enlistment. He was now described as being 24 years old, 5' 7" in height, and as having gray eyes, brown hair, and a light complexion. And somewhere along the line, possibly after his reenlistment, Fulton was promoted to corporal.
The 1864 campaign opened with a drive intended to culminate in the seizure of Atlanta. Going was slow and brutal as Union forces pushed south from Tennessee into Georgia. In early May the Federal Army was advancing into Georgia, fighting its way from Dalton to Resaca. While the main force pushed on towards Adairsville, a smaller Union force was sent on a flanking maneuver to the west. As described by Lieutenant R. V. Marshall in his post-war Historical Sketch, "The city of Rome, Ga., was not on the direct route to Atlanta, but was situated 15 miles to the right at the junction of the Oustenaula and Hightower rivers. Here the Confederates had a division under Gen. French, protected by strong forts and earthworks. Gen. Davis' division [which included the 22nd Indiana] was detached and ordered to take Rome. This was done on the afternoon of the 17th [of May], after a spirited engagement of half an hour...Five men in the 22nd were killed and 14 wounded."
Corporal Nelson Fulton was one of the fatalities. He was killed in action instantly. Company records indicate that he was "Killed in action May 17, 1864 Rome, Ga." and that his "death was caused by 'a Rifle Ball,' shot through the head." An inventory of his effects lists $93 in notes. This was a large amount of cash for a soldier to be carrying, but he had last been paid on January 23, 1864 when he received several months of overdue back pay. Perhaps, with the various movements of the army in the interim, he had not had an opportunity to safely send the money home.
News of Nelson's death must have hit the Fulton family hard back in Saltsburg. Records show that his mother, Mary Ann Fulton, applied for a pension based on the fact that her "husband has been physically disabled for ten years" and that her son had been providing for her financial support before his death. William Fulton's affidavit stated, "Nelson G. Fulton was the only son of himself and Mary Ann Fulton; that by the death of the said Nelson G. Fulton his parents are deprived of his assistance for support and maintenance...[he] being nearly blind and unable to maintain and support his family without the aid and assistance of his son...since [the time of his blinding] and up to the death of his said son, he had the labor and earnings of the said Nelson G. Fulton to appropriate to the support of the family. That when said Nelson G. Fulton was alive in the Service of the Army, he sent all the wages due him except his necessary expenses for clothing himself...That after he entered the Army he still continued to contribute to the support of his parents by sending money, on an average about $10 per month. That the amount of property possessed by the said affiant and his wife Mary Ann Fulton the mother of Nelson G. Fulton, is a house and Lot in which they reside in Saltsburg, Pa., which residence cost $340, part of which sum was paid by said Nelson G. Fulton. Said soldier died leaving no widow nor children, but dependent parents."
Others corroborated the claims of financial assistance. Friend of the family Sarah Wolf testified "...all his wages was sent to her [Mary Ann Fulton] sometimes by mail and sometimes by express Co. and she [Sarah Wolf] saw her have the money." Someone else swore Nelson "regularly contributed to the support of his parents, by his labor before enlisting, and by sending money for their use afterwards." Neighbor James Leech testified, "Nelson G. Fulton constantly and regularly contributed to the support of his mother...from the time he was old enough to command wages to the time of his death, and that his contributions were equal to or more than one half of her subsistence." Even an Adams Express agent testified "on the 9th day of April AD 1863 he did deliver a money package to William Fulton, from Nelson G. Fulton containing thirty-five ($35) Dollars, & on the 17th day of November AD 1864 he delivered another money package to William Fulton containing Seventy ($70) Dollars sent to him by Nelson G. Fulton who was then serving as a soldier in the Army of the United States." This latter date would have been after Fulton's death, so if the date is correct, it may have been the pay due him at the time he was killed.
A pension may have eased the family's financial situation, but nothing could replace a lost son and brother. All that remained were a few small photographs. One pre-war tintype shows Nelson Fulton as a well-dressed young man in civilian clothes. Another tintype in a paper CDV mount shows him wearing an army frock coat that has been shortened into a jacket by having the skirt cut off. A bust view of Fulton on a paper CDV is in fact a mirror-image copy photo made from an earlier tintype or ambrotype. And finally, a full-length paper CDV pictures Fulton in a nine-button infantry frock coat with his arm resting on the back of a chair. On the back he has written in ink the name of his little sister, "Maggie," for whom he undoubtedly intended to give this picture. Above, written at a later date in pencil is the note "Mrs. M. A. Fulton 8X10 No. 10 Albumen as it is" and at the bottom "J Barger Agt." It would seem that after his death, Fulton's mother sent this picture to a photographic studio to be copied and enlarged, without modification, into an 8 by 10 albumen photo as a keepsake of her lost son.

Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named 'The Tramps' went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,' about the Zulu Tribe.
That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go...
Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that the majority of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community where, for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members.
Conversations and interviews with older members also indicate that in that era the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or 'Club.' The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Aid Society and other ward-based groups.
While the 'Group' marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King.
The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story (William Crawford - 1910, Peter Williams - 1912, and Henry Harris - 1914) were similarly attired.
1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.

Chawri Bazar
The electrical wiring in this part of the city just fascinated me; I was just amazed that it worked without either burning the place down or killing anyone. Pictures taken while riding in a rickshaw, therefore they are not as sharp as I would like.
Chawri Bazar is a specialized wholesale market of brass, copper and paper products. Established in 1840, with a hardware market, it was the first wholesale market of Old Delhi it lies to the west of Jama Masjid in Delhi, lies. It can be reached by taking the street just near the middle projection of Jama Masjid's western (rear) wall. It was accessible via the Chawri Bazar underground station of the Delhi Metro.
Once popularly known for its dancing girls and courtesans in the 19th century, frequented by nobility and rich alike. After the advent of British as the tawaif culture faded out, subsequently prostitutes came to occupy the upper floors of the market. This eventually led to the area becoming hub of criminality and thus the Delhi Municipal Committee evicted them from the area, all together, the street is named after a Marathi word chawri, which means meeting place. The street got this name mainly because here a 'sabha' or meeting would take place in front of a noble's house and he would try settling the disputes before it would reach the emperor. A second reason is probably that a gathering used to get organized when a respected dancer performed and showed the finer nuances of her skill. The whole ambience of the street however got changed after the 1857 war when British destroyed many huge mansions of the nobles.
Today, Chawri Bazaar is a very busy road as laborers with their laden backs, cars, rickshaws, scooters and walkers almost battle for the passage during the peak market hours. Again it is also a wholesale market but you will be allowed to purchase a brass or copper idol of Lord Vishnu, Buddha and others. The shops also keep many useful items like jewelry boxes, vases, pots and oil lamps. However, at present Chawri Bazar is more known as the wholesale market of paper products than copper or brass. From beautiful wedding cards to attractive wallpapers to nice greetings to any types of papers required for any use, everything is available here in retail as well as in wholesale. Though the whole process is very exhausting but it will be a day to remember, as you will definitely enjoy it.

You expect to be disappointedwhen coming face to face withan icon that is almost an archetype, but nothing can really prepare you for the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Built by Shah Jahan as an eternal symbol of his love for his favorite wife, whom he called Mumtaz Mahal ('Jewel of the Palace'), it has immortalized him forever as one of the great architectural patrons of the world. It's not just the perfect symmetry, the ethereal luminescence, the wonderful proportions, or thesheer scale (which is virtually impossible to imagine from staring at its oft-reproduced image), but the exquisite detailing covering every inch of marble that justifies it as a wonder of the world. What appears from afar to be perfectly proportioned white marble magnificence is in facta massive bejeweled box, withpietra dura adorning the interior and exterior -- said bysome to be an Italian technique imported to Agra by Jahangir, but more likely tobe a craft originating in Persia. These intricately carved floral bouquets are inlaid with precious stones: agate, jasper, malachite, turquoise, tiger's eye, lapis lazuli, coral, carnelian -- everystone known to man, as well as different shades of marble,slate, and sandstone. Beautiful calligraphy, inlaid with black marble, is carefully increased in size as the eye moves higher, creating an optical illusion of perfectly balanced typography, with theletters the same size from whichever angle you look. Carved relief work, again usually of flowers, which symbolized paradise on earth for the Mughals, decorates much of the interior, while thedelicacy of the filigree screensthat surround the cenotaph, carved out of a single piece ofmarble, is simply astounding. The tomb is flanked by two mosques -- one is a prerequisite, but the other is a 'dummy' built only in the interests of symmetry; both buildings are worthy of examination in their own right. At the center of it all liesMumtaz Mahal's cenotaph with the words HELP US OH LORD TO BEAR WHAT WE CANNOT BEAR; Shah Jahan's cenotaph was added later. Work started in 1641, and the structure took 20,000 laborers22 years to complete -- legendhas it that Shah Jahan cut off the hands of the architect (Persian-born Ustad Ahmad Lahori) and his laborers to ensure that they would never build another, but there is little to substantiate this sensational story. The Taj changes color depending on the time of day, and many recommend that you witness this by visiting in the morning and evening; however, your ticket is valid for one entry only. Eat a hearty breakfast before you head out (no food is allowed past security), and stay the day, or come in the early morning. Finally, to understand the symbolism of the Taj, as well as what has been lost since Shah Jahan's day (such as the plunder of the pearl-encrusted silks that covered Mumtaz's cenotaph), it's definitely worth hiring the services of a good (read: official), well-spoken guide. Besides Rajiv Rajawat and Sudhir Agarwal, you can consider arranging a reputable guide through your hotel. If you're an absolute romantic, you might like to check with your hotel whetheror not one of the full moon Taj-viewing experiences is likely to fall on one of the nights during your stay. Since early 2005, the Taj has been open for night viewing for 5 days each lunar cycle: the full moon night and the 2 nights before and after. These after-hours sessions happen between 8pm and midnight and are highly regulated (and certainly no substitute for daytime visits); try to time such a visit for around 10pm. Note: The Taj is closed on Friday. Your Taj ticket also entitles you to a small discount at the other four major attractions (Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah, Sikandra, and Fatehpur Sikri), so keep it on hand and show it when paying to enter the others. Be the First to Arrive -- Get to the Taj entrance at dawn, before it opens, then rush -- run if you must -- straight to the cenotaph chamber (remember to remove your shoes before ascending the marble steps). If you manage to get there first, you will hearwhat might aptly be describedas 'the sound of infinity' -- the vibration created by air moving through the huge ventilated dome. As soon as the first visitor walks in, jabbering away, it reverberates throughout the room, and the sacred moment is lost until closing time again.
