Myths
A few fantasies, none of which are upheld by the archeological record, have seemed stating that individuals other
than Shah Jahan and the first planners were liable for the development of the Taj Mahal. For example, in 2000, India’s
High Court excused P. N. Oak’s request to proclaim that a Hindu ruler constructed the Taj Mahal.[93][96] In 2005
, a comparative appeal brought by Amar Nath Mishra, a social specialist and minister guaranteeing that
the Taj Mahal was worked by the Hindu lord Paramardi in 1196, was excused by the Allahabad High Court.[97]
A few legal disputes and explanations by conservative legislators about Taj Mahal being a Hindu sanctuary have
been motivated by P. N. Oak’s 1989 book Taj Mahal: The Genuine Story, where he guaranteed it was implicit 1155 Promotion and
not in the seventeenth century.[98][99] In November 2015, the Association Pastor of Culture expressed in the Indian Parliament
that there was no proof that it was ever a temple.[100] In August 2017, the Archeological Study of India pronounced
