harerama Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I've read at a few sites that the Taj Mahal really wasn't a mausoleum in the first place, but a Vedic Shiva temple and a palace, which was owned by a Hindu named Jai Singh. What are people's thoughts on this? Is there merit to this claim? If so, why doesn't the Indian government acknowledge this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priyap Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 i heard this statement also. apparantly historians dug up parts of the taj mahal to find ruins of the shiva temple. firstly the temple was situated by water, muslim places of worship do not contain water and also the sun shines as surya a place of worship for hindus. however the indian government has not bothered to look into this further.
