Shah Jehan took over a Rajput palace from Jagat Singh, grandson of Man Singh. Taj Mahal was a Shiva temple inside that palace.

Shah Jehan then put verses of The Koran all over the place to claim it as a Muslim building.

Taj Mahal is not a symbol of love, Shah Jehan had hundreds of women in his harem. 6 other women are also buried in the Taj Mahal complex.

India's Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas is taking many steps to reduce pollution around the Taj Majal. These steps included making lead-free petrol more available, discontinuing the use of high-lead petrol and connecting more homes to the liquid petroleum gas grid to reduce the use of dirtier fuels like coal.

• 22,000 laborers and 1,000 elephants were used for services of taj mahal

Acid Rain is a major threat to the beauty of Taj Mahal .When acid rain fall on the monument ( that is completely made of marble ), they react with marble to form a powder-like substance that is then washed away by the rain. This phenomenon is known as marble cancer. Also, the soot particles emitted from the Mathura oil refinery near Agra is leading to the yellowing of the marble.

What is written above is a Muslim-British propaganda, there is no truth in it.

Taj Mahal is the temple of Shiva, Tajendra is one of the name of Shiva. It was a Shiva temple inside the palace of Jagat Singh, grandson of Man Singh, the commander in chief of Akber. It was not a Muslim building at all because (a) it is facing east like any Hindu building; (b) it is octagonal as recommended by Hindu architectures, (c) it has motifs of Lotus important for Hindus but prohibited in Muslim architectures.

Arab beduins, Turks and Mongols, the Muslims who invaded India were barbarians, nomadic, uncivilised people. They never had any buildings in their own countries which are still mainly deserts. They could not design a building like Taj Mahal.

It is very very beautiful and legends say that it has gold in water .

the water is crystal clear.

If you don't believe me try an other answer :)

No, it is a tomb that Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built in the memory of his third wife when she died. The name of his third wife was Mumtaz Mahal. It is though, considered a jewel of Muslim art.

Taj Mahal - The Construction

Shah Jahan purchased a plot of land from Raja Jai Singh on the banks of Yamuna River for building the Taj Mahal. Raja Jai Singh was also instructed by Shah Jahan to provide a regular supply of special, hard and non-porous marble from the quarries of Makrana. A 2½-mile (4.02 km) road ramp was built to haul huge pieces of marble to the site of the construction. Strangely t...he scaffolding of this magnificent building was made, not of wood or bamboo, but with bricks. It is probable that the lack of wood made the architects to make brick scaffoldings.

Though Shah Jahan provided the vision behind the entire concept, he was assisted in his endeavor by a number of architects. The name of the architect, which is often mentioned during the building of Taj Mahal, is that of Muhammad Isa Khan, who hailed from Shiraz in Iran. It is also said that a creative nucleus of 37 people formed the core advisory group behind this gigantic project. The construction of Taj Mahal commenced in 1632. Work on the mausoleum started in frenzy with thousands of artisans and laborers toiling ceaselessly day after day. It is said that Taj Mahal took 21 years to complete, with the help of an army of 20,000 laborers, who worked under the guidance of Shah Jahan. It is also said that the royal coffers went dry after this project was over.

At the end of the first year of construction the mausoleum had taken shape and the crypt chamber along with its surrounding works were also completed. The body of Mumtaz Mahal was ceremoniously interred into the tomb. Six years of extensive labor saw the main building of the mausoleum complete and crowned with a majestic guava shaped dome. According to some historians the major construction of Taj Mahal was completed in about 10 years time.

Taj Mahal - The Plan

The Taj Mahal is built according to a predefined plan. It is built according to the Islamic concept of Paradise, where an enormous, shimmering pearl white dome stands supported by four corner pillars, from which flow the rivers of grace.

he massive plinth on which the Taj Mahal stands is representative of the material world, while the octagonal main structure signifies the transitional phase. Finally the dome is symbolic of being the vault of the heaven. To complete the illusion of the paradise, the tomb has been ornamented with splendidly calligraphy of verses from the holy Koran, in flowing Arabic. An inscription written on the massive front gateway leading to the gardens in front of the Taj reads, O soul that art at rest, return to the lord, at peace with Him and He at peace with you. So enter as one of His servants and enter into His garden.

The Taj is marked by perfect symmetry and harmony, be it the shape of the four towering minarets; the cupolas (chhatris); the central arch in the facade; the perfectly arranged arched recesses on both the story. s; the intricate pietra dura (stone inlay work); the delicate lattice work on marble windows or the magnificent dome. Even the mosque and the guesthouse (mehmankhana) are a mirror image of one another.

However, there is one thing, which breaks the perfectly harmonious plan of the Taj Mahal - its position. Instead of locating the Taj Mahal in the middle of the Charbagh (four garden plan), Shah Jahan built the mausoleum at the far end of the garden, with the back wall falling straight down to the bed of Yamuna River.
