What is the mystery of the Taj Mahal? What’s hiding behind the 22 closed doors of the Taj Mahal? Some people claim that idols of Hindu Gods are hidden behind them. On the other hand, some say that they are hiding the fabled good days.
The first door hiding cheap petrol and diesel, the second hiding employment opportunities. Some people have gone further and said that the Taj Mahal is actually a Shiv Temple, whose real name is Tejo Mahalaya.
According to a theory, it wasn’t built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, rather it was built by Raja Paramardi Dev, in the 13th century. After that, it was passed down to Raja Maan Singh, and Shah Jahan bought the Taj Mahal from his grandson, Raja Jai Singh.
Another popular theory about the Taj Mahal is that Shah Jahan had chopped off the hands of 20,000 labourers, after building the Taj Mahal. So the workers who worked on the Taj Mahal, couldn’t build any other monument as beautiful as it.
In one theory, the Tejo Mahalaya was built in the 13th century. In the other, Shah Jahan had chopped off the hands of the workers in the 17th century, about 450 years later. So both theories cannot be true.
What is the history of the Taj Mahal? How much truth do these theories hold? And what’s hidden behind the 22 closed doors of the Taj Mahal?
