Is Taj Mahal a Hindu Temple Palace

[apps]

Do you really believe that Taj Mahal is a ancient Hindu temple palace
known as Tejo Mahalya ? There are rumors that it was earlier the Lord
Shiva temple

[Travel India]

I think there is lot confusion about this....although there are many
rumors accodring to which it is proved that it a Hindu temple
complex...some of the mentioned below :-

# The Evidence Much of the Taj is hidden from public view. Here we
will explain our point of view using some pictures provided by the
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Many of the photographs are from
during the British Rule because after independence most of the
photographed regions are not accessible to the public anymore.

# 1. Five Stories of the seven are sealed. They contain critical
evidence 2. They should not have been identical if only one was to be
a mosque.

# massive octagonal well with palatial apartments along its seven
stories. This was the traditional treasury well of the Hindu temple
palace Had the Taj been a mausoleum this octagonal multistoried well
would have been superfluous.

# The lotus flower cap on the head of the dome is a Hindu feature.
Muslim domes are bald.

# The dome of the Taj Mahal bearing a trident pinnacle made of a non-
rusting eight-metal Hindu alloy. The pinnacle served as a lightning
deflector too.

# Islamic Icons are almost always complete circles leaving a little
opening for a star. The coconut, the bent mango leaves under it and
the supporting Kalash (water pot) are exclusive Hindu motifs.

# The apex of the lofty entrance arch on all four sides of the Taj
Mahal bears this red lotus and white trident--indicating that the
building originated as a Hindu temple. The Koranic lettering forming
the middle strip was grafted after Shahjahan seized the building from
Jaipur state's Hindu ruler.

# Every ancient Hindu mansion had a basement. Excavation to reach the
basement chamber should start under this door.

# These corridors at the approach of the Taj Mahal are typically
Hindu. They may be seen in any ancient Hindu capital

# This Naqqar Khana alias Music House in the Taj Mahal garden is an
incongruity if the Taj Mahal were an Islamic tomb. Who would then
provide a band house for a dead Mumtaz? Contrarily Hindu temples and
palaces have a music house because morning and evening Hindu chores
begin to the sweet strains of sacred music.

# Upper floor are kept locked and barred since Shahjahan's time. The
floor and the marble walls of such upper floor rooms can be seen in
the picture to have been stripped of its marble panels. Shahjahan used
that uprooted marble from the upper floor for constructing graves and
engraving the Koran

# Muslim Graves are designed to be hidden from public view. Here
Mumtaz has two graves, one visible and the other hidden (underground).
The famous Shiva temple in Ujjain also has an underground chamber for
one of its Shiva-lingams.

# This is the Dhatura flower essential for Hindu Shiva worship.

# Doesn’t this look familiar to “Om”. While perambulating around the
central chamber one may see such 'OM' designs.

# One of the 22 rooms in the secret storey underneath the marble
plinth of the Taj Mahal. If those doorways are opened, important
evidence concealed inside by Shahjahan may come to light.

# A corner of one of the 22 rooms in the secret storey immediately
below the marble platform of the Taj Mahal. The ventilator at the
left, meant for air and light from the riverside, has been crudely
walled up by Shahjahan. He did not bother even to plaster them. Had
Shahjahan built the Taj as a mausoleum what was the purpose of the 22
rooms?

# Crudely sealed up ventilator. Sealed by Shahjahan with unplastered
bricks

# One of the 22 locked rooms in the secret storey beneath the marble
platform of the Taj Mahal. The rooms may be seen door within door in a
row. So this definitely was a palace – infact a temple palace At
present they only peep into the grave chamber and walk away.

# Hindu design is painted on the ceiling of some of the 22 locked
rooms in the secret storey below the marble platform of
he Taj Mahal in Agra. Had Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal he would not
have kept such elaborately painted rooms sealed and barred to the
public. Even now one can enter these rooms only if one can influence
the archaeology department to remove the locks.

# Shree P. N. Sharma of Green Park, New Delhi who peeped through an
aperture in these chambers in 1934 A.D. saw a pillared hall with
images carved on the pillars. Many such doorways of chambers in secret
stories underneath the Taj Mahal have been sealed with brick and
lime.

# Burharpur. This building is one such ancient Hindu royal palace
captured by the Moghuls. Mumtaz died here during her 14th delivery
around 1630 A.D. while she and Shahjahan were camping here.
