No one has ever challenged it except Prof.  P. N. Oak, who believes the
whole world has been duped. In  his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says, the Taj Mahal is  not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient  Hindu temple palace  of Lord Shiva (then  known as Tejo  Mahalaya  ).
 
  In the course of his  research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped  by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his  own court chronicle, Badshahnama,Shah Jahan admits that an  exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra was taken from Jai  SIngh for Mumtaz's burial .
 
  The ex-Maharaja of  Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from  Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building. Using captured  temples and mansions, as a burial place for dead courtiers and  royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers. For example,  Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in  such mansions.
 
  Oak's inquiries began  with the name of Taj Mahal. He says the term  "Mahal " has  never been used for  a building in any Muslim countries
from Afghanisthan to  Algeria . "The  unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz  Mahal was illogical in atleast two respects.
Firstly, her  name was never Mumtaz Mahal  but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani ," he writes.
Secondly, one cannot omit the first  three letters 'Mum' from a woman's
name to derive the  remainder as the name for the building."Taj Mahal, he  
claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's Palace  . Oak also says the love  story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale created by court  sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists .  Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates  the love story.

Furthermore, Oak cites several documents  suggesting the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan's era, and was a  temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city.  For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples  from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests  revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan.  European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in  1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life  of the city in his memoirs. But he makes no reference to the Taj  Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English  visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest  the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan's time.  

Prof. Oak points out a number of design and  architectural inconsistencies
that support the belief of the  Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple
rather than a  mausoleum. Many rooms in the Taj ! Mahal have remained sealed  since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the  public. Oak asserts  they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects  
commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples ..  Fearing political  
backlash, Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Prof.  Oak's book
withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the  Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences  .
 
 There is only one way to  discredit or validate Oak's research.
The current government  should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal under U.N.  supervision, and let international experts investigate.
