Taj Mahal is a Shiv Temple named 'Tejo Mahalya'.
Here’s the Whole Research and Proofs Stating that Taj Mahal was Actually Tejo Mahalya, a Shiv Temple:
No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya).
In the course of his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court chronicle, Badshahnama, Shah Jahan ADMITS that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansionin Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz's burial . The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building.Using captured temples and mansions, as a burial place for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers.
For example, Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are ALL buried in such mansions.
Proofs, Historical and Religious Recordings
1.
Oak's inquiries began with the name of Taj Mahal. He says the term "Mahal" has NEVER BEEN USED for a building in any Muslim countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria.
"The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in at least two respects:
Firstly, her name was NEVER Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani," he writes. .
Secondly, one CANNOT OMIT THE FIRST THREE letters 'Mum' from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name for the building."Taj Mahal, he claims, is a CORRUPT VERSION of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's Palace.
Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a FAIRY TALE created by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists . Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates the love story…!
2.
Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj Mahal PREDATES Shah Jahan's era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan….!
Now think this…: If the Tejo Mahalya PREDATES 300 YEARS before Shah Jahan’s Birth, then how the Bloody Hell he Had Built it…!!
Furthermore, Since the doors of the Tejo Mahalya were broken open by Muslim invaders repeatedly from the 11th century onwards, for plunder and ravage, had to be replaced from time to time. Thus, the Tejo Mahalya is much older than many of its doors. Infact, a report published by Evan Williams, Professor of Chemistry, and Brooklyn College, New York, says that a wood piece from the door at North East end of the Taj Mahal has an age between 1448 to 1270 A.D…!
Adding to this, European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo, who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the city in his memoirs. But he makes NO REFERENCE to the Taj Mahal being built by Shah Jahan for Mumtaz’s Burial.
The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building WELL BEFORE SHAH JAHAN'S TIME.

Architectural Evidence
![]()
Well –known Western authorities on architecture like E. B. Havell, Mrs Kenoyer and Sir W. W. Hunter have gone on record to say that the Taj Mahal is BUILT IN THE HINDU TEMPLE STYLE. Havell points out that the ground plan of The Ancient Hindu Chandi Shiva Temple in Java is identical with that of the Taj.

- A central dome with octagonal cupolas at its four corners is a common feature of Hindu temples. The four marble pillars at the plinth corners are of the Hindu style. They were used as lamp–towers during the night and as watchtowers during the day. Such towers serve to demarcate the holy precincts. Hindu wedding altars and the altar set up for God Satyanarayan worship has pillars raised at their Four Corners. Even our marriage mandaps are so.

- The octagonal shape of the Taj Mahal has a special Hindu significance because: Hindus alone have special names for the eight directions, and celestial guards assigned to them. Lord Rama’s capital was octagonal as mentioned in Valmiki’s Ramayana. The pinnacle points to the heaven while the foundation signifies the below world. Hindu forts, cities, palaces and temples generally have an octagonal layout or some octagonal features so that together with the pinnacle and the foundation they cover all ten directions in which the king or god holds sway, as per Hindu tradition.

- Encyclopedia Britannica is wrong in terming the four marble towers around the Taj Mahal as minarets. Muslim minarets are always part of the building. These ones DETACHED from the building, are Hindu towers. Muslim minarets start from the shoulders of the buildings. Hindu towers start from the floor level like the Rana Kumbha tower at Chittogarh. Also Muslim pairs of minarets are of varying heights and never symmetrical.

- The Taj Mahal has a TRIDENT PINNACLE over the dome. A full-scale figure of that trident pinnacle is inlaid in the red-stone courtyard to the east of the Taj. The central shaft of the trident depicts a Kalash (sacred pot) holding two bent mango leaves and a coconut. This is a sacred Hindu motif. Identical pinnacles may be seen over Hindu and Buddhist temples in the Himalayan region. Tridents are also depicted against a red lotus background at the apex of the stately marble arched entrances on all four sides of the Taj Mahal.
People fondly but mistakenly believed all these three centuries that the Taj pinnacle depicts an Islamic crescent and star or was a lighting-conductor installed by the British rulers of India.
Contrarily the pinnacle made of a non-rusting 5-metal alloy, is also perhaps a Vedic lightning deflector. That the replica of the pinnacle is drawn in the eastern courtyard is also significant because the east is of special importance to the Hindus, as the direction in which the sun rises.

Adding to this, do you know that The pinnacle on the dome has the word Allah Forged on it by the first British archaeological chief Alexander Cunningham, as is apparent from some British names emblazoned on it with a flame-thrower stove by those sent up the dome for the forgery. The pinnacle figure in the eastern red-stone courtyard does not have the word Allah.

Inconsistencies
- The two buildings which face the marble Taj from the East and West are identical in design, size and shape and yet the eastern building is explained away by Islamic tradition, as a community hall while the western building is claimed to be a mosque. How could buildings meant for radically different purposes be identical? This proves that the western building was put to use as a mosque after seizure of the Taj property by Shahjahan. Curiously enough the building being explained away as a mosque has no minaret. Those two identical flanking buildings are a pair of reception pavilions of the Tejo Mahalaya temple-place complex.

- A few yards away on both flanks are two Nakkar Khanas alias drum houses which is an intolerable incongruity for Islam. The proximity of the drum house indicates that the western annex was not originally a mosque. Contrarily a Drum House Is A Necessity in a Hindu temple or palace because Hindu chores morning and evening begin to the sweet strains of music. Music Is Against Islam.
- The sanctum in the Taj Mahal had silver doors and gold railings as Hindu temples still have. It also had nets of pearl, and gems stuffed in the marble lattices. It was the lure of this wealth, which made Shahjahan commandeer the Taj Mahal from a helpless vassal Jaisingh, the then ruler of Jaipur.
- Above Mumtaz’s cenotaph hangs a chain by which now hangs a lamp. Before capture by Shahjahan the chain used to hold a gold water pitcher from which water used to drip on the Shiva Linga. It is this earlier drip-drop Hindu tradition in the Taj Mahal which gave rise to the Islamic myth of Shah Jahan’s love tear dropping on Mumtaz’s tomb on a full moon day on winter-eve.

Even the hammer-story is a fabrication.
Firstly, nobody seems to ask why should any mason bear any grudge towards Shahjahan when the latter is said to have spent liberally and lavishly in commissioning the mausoleum?
Secondly, even if a mason bore any grudge he would not be permitted access to the emperor to exchange hot words with. Even if there were any argument between the two it would not be between a Shahjahan standing in the garden and the petulant mason on the supper perch like an irate monkey on top of the dome at a perpendicular height of 243 feet or so...! What is more, even an angry mason’s powerful hammer stroke would not make even the slightest dent in the dome because the dome has a 13-feet thick wall covered with hard marble.

The hammer-stroke and tear drop stories are a fraudulent Islamic fabrication based on two facts. One of those we have already noted namely that in the Hindu tradition water did drip in droplets from a pitcher hung over the Shiva Linga. The second fact is that Shahjahan was so stingy by nature that he did not want to spend even a pie from his own treasury in transforming a captured Taj Mahal into an Islamic mausoleum.
His troops used to round up workers from Agra City and the neighborhood at sword point or at the crack of a whip. Such forced labor was employed for years in pulling out Hindu idols, grafting Koranic engravings, and sealing five of the seven stories of the Taj Mahal. Being compelled to work for years without wages, the workmen rebelled. A haughty Shahjahan punished them by amputating their hands.

Treasury Well
Between the so-called mosque and the drum house is a multi-storeyed octagonal well with a flight of stairs reaching down to the water level. This is the traditional treasury well in Hindu temple-places. Treasure chests used to be kept in the lower apartments while treasury personnel had their offices in the upper chambers. The circular stairs made it difficult for intruders to reach down to the treasure or to escape with it undetected or unparsed. In case the premises had to be surrendered to a besieging enemy the treasure could be pushed into the well to remain hidden from the conqueror and remain safe for salvaging if the place was reconquered. Such an elaborate multi-storeyed well is superfluous for a mere mausoleum. Such a grand, gigantic well is unnecessary for a dead Mumtaz when even a living Muslim does not use so much water.

Burial Date Unknown Had Shahjahan really built the Taj Mahal as a wonder mausoleum, history would have recorded a specific date on which she was ceremoniously buried in the Taj Mahal. No such date is ever mentioned. This important missing detail decisively exposes the falsity of the Shahjahan legend.
Even the year of Mumtaz’s death is unknown…! It is variously speculated to be 1629, 1630, 1631, or 1632. Had she deserved a fabulous burial, as is claimed, the date of her death would not have been a matter of speculation. In a harem (meaning Muslim household reserved for wives) teeming with 5000 women, it was difficult to keep track of dates of death. Apparently the date of Mumtaz’s death was so insignificant an event as not to merit any special notice. Who would then build a Taj Mahal for her burial?
Adding to this, a Man who had 5000 WIVES, do you think would make THE TAJ for any 1 Woman??
8.
NO BUILDING RECORDS
Twenty thousand laborers are supposed to have worked for 22 years during Shahjahan’s reign in building the Taj Mahal. Had this been true, they should have been available in Shahjahan’s court papers, design-drawings, heaps of labor muster rolls, daily expenditure sheets, bills and receipts for material ordered, and commissioning orders. There is NOT EVEN A SCRAP OF PAPER of the kind. Given the fact that Muslims of that time were very good historians had written so many books then, it is a bit surprising.

Descriptions of the garden plants around the Taj of Shahjahan’s time mention Ketaki, Jai, Jui, Champa, Maulashree, Harshringar and Bel. All these are plants whose flowers or leaves are used in the worship of VEDIC DEITIES. Bel leaves are used EXCLUSIVELY in Shiva worship.
A graveyard is planted only with shady trees because the idea of using fruit or flower from plants in a cemetery is Abhorrent and Disgusting to human conscience.
The presence of Bel and other flower plants in the Taj garden is proof of its having been a Shiva temple before seizure by Shahjahan.

Hindu temples are often built on river banks and sea beaches. The Taj Mahal is one such built on the bank of the Yamuna river, an ideal location for a Shiva temple. Hindu holy places like Hrishikesh, Ujjain, Nashik and Hardwar are along rivers. The existence of a ghat at the rear suggests a temple-palace, Not a Tomb.
11.
Mumtaz died in Burhanpurwhich is about SIX HUNDRED MILES south of Agra. Mumtaz died here during her 14th delivery around 1630 A.D. while she and Shahjahan were camping here. Her grave there is intact.Therefore, the cenotaphs raised in two storeyes of the Taj in her name are fakeshiding the Hindu Shiva emblems. And why two cenotaphs one in the basement and the other in the upper storey? Was Mumtaz’s corpse cut up into two pieces, horizontally or vertically to need two cenotaphs? Is that not a fraud?
12.
The story that Shahjahan wanted to build a black marble Taj across the river, is another motivated myth. The ruins dotting the other side of the river are those of Hindu structures demolished during Muslim invasions and Not the Plinth of another Taj Mahal. A Shahjahan who DID NOT BUILD even the White Marble Tajwould hardly ever think of building a black marble Taj. He was so miserly that he forced laborers to work gratis even in the superficial tamperingnecessary to make A Hindu Temple Serve As A Muslim Tomb.

The entire Taj complex comprises 400 to 500 rooms. Residential accommodation on such a stupendous scale is UNTHINKABLE IN A MAUSOLEUM….!!

Maulvi Moinuddin in his book says that near the garden wall are two Khawaspuras or enclosed compounds. Part of it is filled with flower pots while the eastern side is a COWSTABLE. From when did Muslims start having cow stables ??
Also Pura in Sanskrit means busy locality while Khawas means dependant of Rajput rulers. This means that a Rajput ruler lived or worshipped in the Tejo Mahalya.
15.
REAL BUILDERThe Tejo Mahalya was constructed atleast five hundred years earlier then Shah Jahan’s time.
It was constructed in 1155 A.D. by once Raja Parmar Dev’s Chief Minister, Salakshan. Even Shahjahan’s own court history in Persian says “the mansion known as Raja Mansingh’s Manzil, at present owned by his grandson Jaisingh, was selected for the burial of Mumtaz and she was buried in it.”
So this were a few facts which I was able to search as well read through. In Reality, there are as much as 100 EVIDENCESthat Tejo Mahalya was a Shiv Temple.
Even today Many rooms in the Tejo Mahalya have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the public. Prof. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shivaand other objects commonly used for worship ritualsin Hindu temples . Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition Severe Consequences …! These are our Political Leaders…! Even today Politicians are trying to HIDE THIS THING as much as possible.
Well I hope One Daywill come when an Ethnic Hindu Leaderwould do something to Restore The Right History.
Even if current government opens the sealed rooms of The Tejo Mahalya under U.N. supervision, and allows international experts to investigate publicly, then that day would not be far enough when You and Me would be doing a Shiv Ling Abhishekam in TEJO MAHALYA….!!
