[Guest guest]

Dear All, Here is some more on this subject: http://led-world.blogspot.com/2008/11/true-story-of-tajmahal-great-wonder.html Love and regards,Sreenadh=============================PRE-SHAHJAHAN REFERENCES TO THE TAJ70. Apparently the Taj as a central palace seems to have an chequered history. The Taj was perhaps desecrated and looted by every Muslim invader from Mohammad Ghazni onwards but passing into Hindu hands off and on, the sanctity of the Taj as a Shiva temple continued to be revived after every muslim onslaught. Shahjahan was the last muslim to desecrate the Tajmahal alias Tejomahalay.71. Vincent Smith records in his book titled `Akbar the Great Moghul' that `Babur's turbulent life came to an end in his garden palace in Agra in 1630'. That palace was none other than the Tajmahal. 72. Babur's daughter Gulbadan Begum in her chronicle titled `Humayun Nama' refers to the Taj as the Mystic House.73. Babur himself refers to the Taj in his memoirs as the palace captured by Ibrahim Lodi containing a central octagonal chamber and having pillars on the four sides. All these historical references allude to the Taj 100 years before Shahjahan.============================= , "Sreenadh" <sreesog wrote:>> > Dear All,> Visit this link to know about the unique view presented by PN Oak on> Taj Mahal.
