KNOW ABOUT TAJ : Before you go through the post,ask a simple question to yourself...is the word mahal an arabic word? Or its an indian word which means palace..if it was really built by shahjahan then why he choose an indian name?where is the blueprint of the building?and in which book at that time it is written that shahjahan made Taj. TAJ MAHAL --- Mahal is Indian and means ‘Palace’ so why would a Mughal tomb be called a palace? Taj comes from an older Jat ( the Hindu population of Agra) name for Shiva. Tejo which means Shiva. They have always called the Taj Mahal Tejo Mahalaya. The Palace of Shiva. Shah Jahan’s wife’s name is Mumtaz ul Zamani. How is that remotely related to Taj Mahal =Palace? The Hindus devoted to Shiva have records of 12 famous Jyotirlinga temples to Shiva including the ‘Crystal Temple’ in Agra and the famous Hindu treatise on architecture called ‘Viswakarma Vastushastra’ refers to the ‘Tej Linga’. Agra for the Jats was a key center for the worship of Shiva and they refer to FIVE Temples in Agra built to worship Shiva. Now there are ONLY FOUR. What happened to the famous fifth ‘Crystal Temple’ to Shiva? Shah Jahan’s own official biography, the Badshahnama, on page 403 Vol I refer to a grand mahal or palace with a dome by a river in Agra which was seized or confiscated from his hated Rajput inlaws in Jaipur, Maharajah Jaisingh of Jaipur (where the white marble came from). Westerners at that time referred to the Taj as Rajah Mansingh’s Palace (scion of Jaisingh). So even Shah Jahan’s own bio says he confiscated the Mahal from the Rajah of Jaipur for his own use. The Bio refers to the land by the river, the 7 stories, the 100 plus rooms, dome, and support buildings indicating this was an preexisting mahal or palace which might at one time have been used for sacred purposes. The Rajput rajahs were famous patrons of the Hindu gods. The autobiography of Babur also states that he when he conquered Agra he seized a crystal palace there which he used as his summer palace.
