Taj Mahal

By -
As much as each of you have heard, the need of the preservation of this monument is as prevalent in these times, as is your need to brush. It may seem a bit too extreme. But in order to know our present we must understand our past. We all know that colours are beautiful and absolutely necessary. But not on the Taj Mahal. For it is beautiful despite its lack of color. And it is important for it to remain so. Not only does it showcase a crucial part of history, but it also gives India recognition in the world. Millions of tourist visit the Taj Mahal every year, in an attempt to understand the heritage of India. And if they see garbage, tobacco stains and unkempt surroundings, that's exactly what they'll perceive India comprises of, which is highly undesirable. Therefore, it is important that all of us, take care of Taj Mahal.

So, the classical name Kavya means a sonnet or poem in Sanskrit which is the meaning I've been telling people my whole life. Apparently, Kavya also means intelligence, wise, happiness and it is a Sanskrit literary composition. Kavya (or Kāvya; Sanskrit: काव्य, IAST: kāvyá) also refers to the Sanskrit literary style used by Indian court poets flourishing from the first half of the seventh century AD. This literary style is characterised by abundant usage of figures of speech, metaphors, similes, and hyperbole to create its emotional effects. The result is a short lyrical work, court epic, narrative or dramatic work. "Kavya" can refer to the style or the completed body of literature.
