THE LOVE STORY OF TAJ

It has been called the most beautiful temple in the world, despite the fact that it was built at the cost of much human life. The Taj Mahal is a real monument of one man's love for a woman. The story is a sad one, told many times. But it never hurts to tell it again.

CONSTRUCTION OF TAJ

The Taj Mahal was constructed using materials from all over Asia. Over 1,000 elephants were used to transport building materials. The translucent white marble was brought from Rajasthan, the jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China. A labour force of 20000 workers was

recruited across northern India

INSIDE VIEWS OF TAJ

TRAGEDY OF TAJ

Workers were gathered from all over the country (India) and centralAsia. The main architect was Isa Khan. Shahjahan cut off the hands ofthe workers after the completion of the Taj so Mahal that no one would ever beable to build such a marvelous monument again.

OTHER STORY OF TAJ

This story has been challenged by Professor P.N. Oak, author of Taj Mahal: The True Story, who believes that the whole world has been duped. He claims that the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz Mahal's tomb, but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya), worshipped by the Rajputs of Agra city.
