We all know Taj MAhal one of the 7 wonders of the world is a monument of love. It is the tomb of mumtaz wife of Shah Jahan. He built it for his lovely wife out of undying love for her. But is it the truth. Did he really build the monument? Is it a real tomb? Some researchers have done extensive research on it and are of the opinion that its not the truth. The Taj Mahal is in fact an Hindu vedic temple. A place of worship of lord shiva. The name itsef was derived from 'TEJO MAHALAYA'. There are many evidences which point to the fact that the Taj is not what it has been potrayed as. Carbon dating has infact shown that the Taj existed even before Shah Jahan. It was a custom among the muslim rulers to buy palaces or monument to bury their loved ones. There are many evidences like the structure itself is that of ancient hindu palace and not a mousoleum. The hindu painting and carvings on the walls have been sealed behind doors by Shah jahan. If it would have been built by him why would he not display such elaborate work. It is even said that some people have seen shivling and statues od hindu dieties behind the closed doors of the many rooms. There are evidences like the Kalash at the top thought to be the crescent moon, the flower blooming into OM at the centre, the treasury well a sign of hindu architecture, the approach pillars etc. Shah jahan infact made a shabby work of converting the Beautiful monument into what it is today. He didnt even know from where the marbles were brought to carry out the transformation so he ripped of marble from the rooms inside and put it up in the front with writings of koran etched on it later. I have some of the pics which i'll try to upload. Mumtaz was one of the 100 wives in his harem. She was burried at a Bhuranpur 600 miles from Agra. The date of her death, when was she removed from there, reburried at the Taj is all unknown as the whole story from beginning to end is a concoction. If this is true we all are praising the person who actually defaced the monument of its original beauty. Shouldnt the Govt. Open the sealed doors and the undergroubd rooms for research by a team of international as wellas national archeaologists and historians to know thw truth. What are your views.

We have been taught that the Taj Mahal is a temple built by shah jahan and it took him 22 years to do so... the most beautiful man-made structure on earth... and was built in honor of his wife...arjumand banu? that's all i know...

What u said id true. But what if evry thing is concocted. Mumtaz was just one of his 100s of wives from his harem, so where does the question of true love arise my dear friend. i guess you didnt understand the point I am discussing.
