Question

The Koran had a vital role in the development of art and literature during the Mughal period. How does the structure of the Taj Mahal reflect the Paradise described in the Koran?

Answer 1

The Taj complex looks if it would correspond allegorically to a cosmological model of the gardens of Paradise on The Day of Resurrection for example, the mausoleum stands like the throne of judgment at the far end of the grounds --(besides following the traditional placement which would have been in the center of a four-part garden)-- the forty-two acres of ground are divided by four canals of water, which represents the four rivers of Paradise that is described in Koran-- red sandstone walls topped off with gazebos, galleries and towers which mark the borders of Paradise.
