Taj Mahal is a Vedic Temple? The Photographic Evidence
This presents photographs (listed below) that show the Vedic influence
found in such buildings as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, and other
structures in India. It also presents photos of drawings and art that
have been discovered from other parts of the world, such as Arabia,
Egypt, Greece and Italy, that show a definite Vedic influence. No
matter whether you accept all of this or not, it nonetheless makes for
an extremely fascinating and interesting story. Take a look and decide
for yourself what you think. Also, let other people know about these,
or download them to print and use them for your own displays in your
temple, office or home. The articles listed below are practically more
important than the photographs that are supplied. So be sure to read
them.
We have all heard how the Taj Mahal, which is considered one of the
great wonders of the world, was built as the preeminent expression of
a man's love for a wife. That it was built by emperor Shah Jahan in
commemoration of his wife Mumtaz. However, in our continuous effort to
get to the truth, we have acquired some very important documents and
information. There is evidence that the Taj Mahal was never built by
Shah Jahan. Some say the Taj Mahal pre-dates Shah Jahan by several
centuries and was originally built as a Hindu or Vedic temple/palace
complex. Shah Jahan merely acquired it from its previous owner, the
Hindu King Jai Singh. This controversy is something I have explained
more thoroughly in my book, "Proof of Vedic Culture's Global
Existence." So, for those who want to know the details of this issue,
you can find it there. And here is the photographic evidence that will
provide greater insights into this. The point to consider is how much
more of India's history has been distorted if the background of such a
grand building is so inaccurate.
These photographs listed below are taken from an album that was found
in India. On the back of each photo there is a stamp mark that says,
"Copyright Archaeology Survey of India." This signifies that they may
have been the property of that institution, or that they had
researched the evidence that shows the Taj Mahal and many other
buildings were not of Muslim origin. Thus, it would be good if they
could open up further research into areas of the Taj Mahal that would
reveal the true nature and originality of the buildings, and lead to
understanding another part of the real history and glory of India.
These photos are black and white and were found in a simple photo
album in India. Except for old age and some water damage on some of
them (creating white spots in areas), most are still in relatively
good condition. Each photograph was accompanied by a typed caption
taped in the album under or near the photo, each of which gives a very
interesting explanation of the subject and the Vedic influence
recognized on the building and what it means. The captions accompany
the photos on the following pages just as they were written in the
album, so the style of English and the explanations are kept the same.
I did not write them myself. They are obviously written from an Indian
perspective. Whatever I may say about the photos are displayed in
brackets [ ]. Otherwise I let the captions and photos speak for
themselves. Some of these photos will show areas of the Taj where the
public presently has no access, or what is rarely seen or noticed
today.
It is because of the manipulation of history by invaders that the true
greatness of India and Vedic culture has been stifled or hidden. And
it is time that people everywhere realize how numerous lies and false
propaganda have been passed around as if it were the truth in regard
to India and its past, as well as its art, archeology, and the wonder
of its culture. India and its Vedic society was one of the preeminent
civilizations of the world, as I explained in "Proof of Vedic
Culture's Global Existence." Now, through the increasing amount of
revealing evidence that is being uncovered, that greatness of India's
past and its contributions to the world are gradually being
recognized. It is because of this that it is now time to rewrite the
history of India.

"The Question of the Taj Mahal" (Itihas Patrika, vol 5, pp.
98-111, 1985) by P. S. Bhat and A. L. Athavale is a profound and
thoroughly researched and well balanced paper on the Taj Mahal
controversy. This paper goes well with the photographs listed below.
It uncovers the reasons for the rumors and assumptions of why it is
said that Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal, and presents all the
inconsistencies of why that theory doesn't hold up. It also covers
such things as the descriptions found in the old Agra court papers on
the Taj; descriptions and measurements of the building in the old
records; Aurangzeb's letter of the much needed repairs even in 1632
which is unlikely for a new building; records that reveal Shah Jahan
acquired marble but was it enough for really building the Taj or
merely for inlay work and decorative coverings; the observations of
European travelers at the time; the actual age of the Taj; how the
architecture is definitely of Indian Hindu orientation and could very
well have been designed as a Shiva temple; the issue of the arch and
the dome; how the invader Timurlung (1398) took back thousands of
prisoner craftsmen to build his capital at Samarkhand and where the
dome could have been incorporated into Islamic architecture; how it
was not Shah Jahan's religious tolerance that could have been a reason
for Hindu elements in the design of the Taj; how the direction of the
mosque does not point toward Mecca as most mosques do; the real
purpose of the minarets at the Taj; the Hindu symbolism recognized in
the Taj which would not have been allowed if it was truly Muslim
built; and even as late as 1910 the Encyclopaedia Britannica included
the statement by Fergusson that the building was previously a palace
before becoming a tomb for Shah Jahan; and more. A most interesting
paper.
"An Architect Looks at the Taj Mahal Legend" by Marvin Mills,
is a great review of the information available on the Taj Mahal and
raises some very interesting questions that make it obvious that the
Taj could not have been built the way or during the time that history
presents, which makes it more like a fable than accurate history. This
suggests a construction date of 1359 AD, about 300 years before Shah
Jahan.
The True Story of the Taj Mahal. This article by P. N. Oak
(from Pune, India) provides an overview of his research and lists his
109 proofs of how the Taj Mahal was a pre-existing Hindu temple
palace, built not by Shah Jahan but originally at least 500 years
earlier in 1155 AD by Raja Paramardi Dev as a Vedic temple. Mr. P. N.
Oak is another who has done much research into this topic, and such a
study is hardly complete without considering his findings. The
evidence he presents here is a most interesting read, whether you
agree with it all or not, or care for some of the anger in his
sentiment. Mr. Oak has presented his own conclusions in his books,
most notably Taj Mahal--The True Story (ISBN: 0-9611614-4-2).
The Letter of Aurangzeb ordering repairs on the old Taj Mahal
in the year just before it is said to have been completed.
The Badshahnama is the history written by the Emperor's own
chronicler. This page shows how Aurangzeb had acquired the Taj from
the previous owner, Jai Singh, grandson of Raja Mansingh, after
selecting this site for the burial of Queen Mumtaz.
