What they say

Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a monument to love.

The Truth

The Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple palace called Tejo Mahalaya. P.N. Oak's research and Badshahnama's own records show it was seized by Shah Jahan. The building has all five elements of Hindu temple architecture — pancha bhuta. The so-called 'Muslim graves' were added later.

Professor P.N. Oak documented that the Taj Mahal's architecture follows Hindu temple design — the central dome represents Akasha (space), the foundation represents Prithvi (earth), the garden Jala (water), the pillars Vayu (air), and the lamps Agni (fire). The Badshahnama (Shah Jahan's own court chronicle) admits the palace was 'taken from' Raja Jai Singh. Carbon dating of the wooden door yields dates older than Shah Jahan.
