Question

About Tajmahal

Answer

Taj Mahal is a tomb born out of an emperor’s fanatic love for his wife and his passion for architecture. It was a tradition in the dynasty that all the moguls were buried on one side of yamuna alongside the red fort, and the people who were not from the family but happened to be important were buried on the other side of yamuna. Among those come Itmat-ud-daulah (Noor Jahan’s father) whose memoir is Itmat-ud-daulah’s tomb and Mumtaz Mahal’s Taj! Also, when we look at the symmetry of the tomb, Mumtaj Mahal’s tombstone lies in the center, and Shah Jahan’s tombstone is asymmetrically placed alongside, indicating that he never wanted to be buried there. Instead he had plans to build a similar Taj from black marble on the other side of yamuna for himself. Alas! it remained a mere dream because he was imprisoned by his own son. The architecture of Taj is predominantly ‘Pietra dura”, that was an Arab style of architecture. the flowers carved on the marble are tulips and not lotuses, and are ‘drooping’ indicating sadness. One should wonder why a shiv temple would use Pietra Dura at a time when moguls or their architectural style was not even known to Indians and the tulips drooping at a place of worship. Now one can always say that they destroyed the temple completely and rebuilt it, but then were were they incapable to demolish the statue of Shiva and other remains that P.N. Oak claims are locked in the chambers of Taj? Or is it that they intended that one day, the people discover that the great moguls had not built the magnificent Taj on their own! Also, if Taj was Teja Mahalaya, and a temple so magnificent at that, it must have been built by some hindu ruler, who ruled the area once but, we find no such reference in any literary work of a ruler.
