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 mansion in 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. 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 Afghanistan to Algeria . "The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast 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.

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.
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. 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. 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.
Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum (A large burial chamber, usually above ground). Many rooms in the Taj! Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva (Lingam) and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples.
Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government ried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences . There is only one way to discredit or validate Oak's research. The current government should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal under supervision, and let international experts investigate.

The temples are usually built near river side to carrry out hindu rituals. The Tejo Mahalaya
is built in the back drop of river yamuna. This clearly indicates the present taj mahal is an Tejo mahalaya.
vinay
may b might not be past is past..things have to b preserved
the taj is actually built by Hindus not by any Arabic architects it is proved that the indian architects are very ancient proved great engineers in hindu vasthu and builders
hi all first of all i need to thank Mr.Vinay, Mr. Pradeep Gowda and Mr.Neelam, for their comments.
The comments are really better than i expected, my idea of creating this blog is to not to destroy The Taj Mahal instead i wanted to Rename the 'TAJ MAHAL' to 'TEJO MAHALAYA'.
As i no the Indian Government or any other political parties will not even dare to touch Taj and it should not be touched because it is a pride to our Nation & symbol of India.
As earlier they destroyed 'BABRI MASID' and still not able to built a 'RAM MANDIR' in that place.
And one more thing i want Lord Shiva's (Lingam) out of that place. And it has to be taken out from Taj and we should start doing pooja again. it doesn’t mean that we need to demolish Taj Building or remove Mumtaz’s mummified body from that place but it is no more good to keep Lingam in that place.

Please do some research on the so called 'professor' Oak. He is a considered to be a 'crackpot' by the best experts on Indian culture and religion. Unfortunately this kinds of blog posts Only serve to inflame the hearts of the religious and spurn them towards violence. Before you publish crap like this, make sure you have proof from a reputed source. Not some idiotic pseudo-scholar.
