we all know that Taj Mahal at Agra was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. But in general Taj Mahal was not built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan!.Tajmahal is not a Islamic mausoleum but an ancient Shiva Temple known as Tejo Mahalaya which the 5th generation Mughal emperor Shahjahan commandeered from the Maharaja of Jaipur. The Taj Mahal, should therefore, be viewed as a temple palace and not as a tomb.
Purushottam Nagesh Oak (historical negationist) presents an interesting set of proofs that show a completely different story.

- Agra city, in which the Taj Mahal is located, is an ancient centre of Shiva worship. Its orthodox residents have through the ages continued the tradition of worshipping at five Shiva shrines before taking the last meal every night especially during the month of Shravan. During the last few centuries residents of Agra had to be content with worshipping at only four prominent Shiva temples viz. Balkeshwar, Prithvinath Manakameshwar and Rajarajesh-war. They had lost track of the fifth Shiva deity which their forefathers worshipped. Apparently the fifth was Agreshwar Mahadev i. e. the Lord Great God of Agra consecrated in the Tejo-Mahalaya alias Taj Mahal.
- PN.Oak’s inquiries begin with the name Taj Mahal. He says this term does not occur in any Moghul court papers or chronicles, even after Shah Jahan’s time. The term ‘Mahal’ has never been used for a building in any of the Muslim countries, from Afghanistan to Algeria.
- Professor Marvin Miller of New York took samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj mahal. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan.
- Many rooms in the Taj Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan’s time, and are still inaccessible to the public. PN. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples.
- The Tajmahal entrance faces south. Had the Taj been an Islamic building it should have faced the west.
