Unlocking Human Imagination in South Asian Tangible Cultural Heritage: Analyzing Sahir Ludhianvi's "Taj Mahal"

Sahir Ludhianvi's poetry reimagines the Taj Mahal as more than an architectural marvel, revealing it to be a profound symbol of human emotion and cultural identity. Through phenomenological and literary analysis, this study demonstrates how the monument embodies eternal love and emotional depth, transcending its physical form to represent intangible human experiences. The research highlights the interplay between architecture and imagination, suggesting that future interdisciplinary studies combining literature, architecture, and phenomenology could deepen our understanding of how tangible heritage shapes cultural narratives.
