Is Taj Mahal A Temple?

Secret Hidden Behind The Locked Doors

Friends, the thing is that ASI sources have already told the Indian Express, that these 22 ‘rooms’ aren’t rooms really. It’s actually a long corridor with doors on its side. And the locked doors in question haven’t always been locked. According to the source, the ASI staff clean out the corridor each week or in a couple of weeks.

A retired ASI official has said that there’s nothing on the walls. To have such rooms in the basement is not unusual for Mughal monuments. The Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, and the Safdarjung Tomb, both have similar underground rooms in the basement. They make up a corridor and act as the structural element on which the monument rests.
