Hello!

Well researched article and brings out the Mughal rule, period by period. In fact this article brings out yet another evidence regarding the Taj Mahal. In case anyone notices, temples are built closer to rivers. Tombs are always constructed in gardens and the actual tombs are in the centre. Taj Mahal was not constructed by Shah Jahan, but was a Shiva Temple, much before Shah Jahan came to rule, as was Red Fort. It was a practice by Muslim rulers to usurp architectures of other religions and faiths and convert them into mausoleums. Shah Jahan was no different. In fact, Mumtaz al Ansari (not Mumtaz Mahal) was one of his wives and there was no love involved.
