Best Answer

Taj Mahal, is not a Muslim name as there is no such word called Mahal in Persian. A building is called Mahal in Sanskrit/Hindi; it called Manjil in Persian.

Taj Mahal was called Tajo Mahal or the temple of Shiva inside a Rajput palace of Jagat Singh, grandson of Man Singh, the commander of Mongol Emperor Akbar.
