TAJ MAHAL, a sign of True Love

True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does.
Whenever we speak or hear about India, immediately a picture flower in our mind, it is nothing but the Taj Mahal, the great testimony of pure love. which was built under Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. Even though I have seen many photos of the Taj Mahal, there is a particular photo that struck my mind so much.
This photo is the front view of the Taj Mahal and it is taken in the evening time when the yellow colored tender rays of sun falls on the left side of the Taj Mahal. There are four main features in this photo. The back ground, the building, the pillars and the lake. We can see the back ground is blue the color of sky mixed with the color of the rays of downing sun means a bit reddish. And the building we can see the base of the building, on the base, the main body which is divided into main entrance and two small portions both sides of the entrance. Inside the main entrance we can see two ventilators up and down and both sides of the main entrance we can see four ventilators. On the top of the main entrance there is a big dome and the top of the each sides of the building there are two small domes. Top of these three domes there are finials. In the four ankles of the basement there are four pillars. As it is quite natural, even though the four pillars are in the same height, in the photo we can see two pillars that are in front of the Taj Mahal looks higher than the other two. The other important feature is in front of the building, like the nave in the cathedrals and big basilicas, there is a lake and both sides of the lake is decorated with the small trees. And the most important thing is the image of the Taj Mahal we can see as it is in the water.
The message that I would like to draw from this photo is, this is a monument of love and we can see the image as it is in the water that flows in front of Taj Mahal. True love is like that. Love somebody, we can see that love the person to whom we love in its clarity and depth.
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does.
