Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is a part of the pre-Muslim fort built by the Rajput Kings; it was not built by any Muslim but a Muslim king called Shah Jehan took it from a Rajput king Jagat Singh and remodelled it by putting two red mosques on two sides of a white temple of Siva.

The whitle marble building faces East, according to Hindu religion. There are motifs of flowers, plants which are prohibited in Islamic building. On the top dome there is lotus, cocoanut, trident, all Hindu symbol.

Like most buildings Muslims who came to India as barbarian Arab, Mongol, Turks could only convert the buildings into Mosques as they did also in Istanbul.

Go to the airport. Take a flight to India. Get off the flight in India and then go to Agra.

The taj mahal is made mainly from marble which is a very strong type of stone. It's shape also gives it strength, the semi spherical domed roof being a particularly strong shape.

It is one of the most recognizable structures in the world and one of the most beautiful. It was built by Mugal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife.

Because of it's wonderful decor and landscape, it has been named a wonder of the world.

It attracts between 2 million and 4 million visitors annually.

Mahal is a Sanskrit word means building; in Persian the corresponding word is Manzil.

Taj came from the original word Tejendra one of thenames of shiva. Taj Mahal was a Shiva temple within a Rajput palace, which was taken over by theMongol shah Jehan to turn it into a tomb.

The cost was about 32 million India rupees during the years 1632-1653.

Back then, one rupee was worth 30 Dutch stuivers. Five stuivers were worth 6 British pence. It takes 240 pence to make a British pound.

With this information you can figure that in 1640, one rupee was worth 0.15 British pounds. That means the Taj Mahal cost 4.8 million British pounds in 1640.

Using an inflation calculator for the British pound, I determined that a British pound in 1640 is worth 141 British pounds today. So that means the Taj Mahal cost 678,800,000 of today's British pounds.

Converting that to today's American dollars gives the Taj Mahal a cost in modern American dollars of:

$1,062,834,098

Taj mahal was build with white marble because he want a rich look so he buid it with white marble

because due to the smoke from the factory.The smoke from the factory it will make the monuments corrode by making a cloud and form acid and it cause corrosion.Because it is white marble and have many minerals so it can change its colour also by acid rain.

Whatever is your language, Taj Mahal shall be called as TAJ MAHAL only Hope this helps

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.

The Taj Mahal is in Agra India

taj mahal is design in the memory of shaha jahan's third wife mumtas mahal which she was died in childbirth

The taj is a symbol of love from the grandson of akbar, Shah Jahan, to his dead wife (mumtaz mahal) who died after giving birth to her fourteenth son. Because he loved her so much he built it for her as a tomb.

What is written above is a British-Muslim propaganda. Shah Jehan had no queen named Taj Mahal; it is impossible. Taj means crown; Mahal means building. Is it possible for any woman to have a strange name Crown Building. Mahal is Sanskrit. The court language during Shah Jehan was Persian, where a building is called Manzil, not Mahal.

Shah Jehan's favourite queen's name was Arjumand Zamani not Taj Mahal.

Shah Jehan got this building from Jagat Singh, the grand son of Man Singh, commander in chief of Akbar, the grandfather of Shah Jehan. Man Singh got it from earlier days. Taj Mahal was a part of a Hindu palace. It has four floors; which the British blocked with stonewalls.

The building is facing East, just like any Hindu building, not west, which any Muslim building should face.

It has motives of flowers and plants, prohibited in Muslim architecture.

It has octagonal shape, according to Hindu Vastu Shastra.

It was never built by Shah Jehan, who modified it to put verses of Koran, not any love poems.

Neither.

It was built by the Mughals, the other empire of that time period.
