TAJ MAHAL or TEJO MAHAL


You must have heard about the 7th wonders of the world. But have you heard about the 8th wonder of the world? The 8th wonder is the temple of the God Shiva (who is revered for the all the HIndus), which is known as the Taj Mahal in the present. When was TejoMahalaya constructed? How much money was spent on it? About this questions historians have different opinions.It is obvious because truth is always one but the lie is not indifferent.

Some historians believe that the name of Taj Mahal is derived from the name of "Mumtaz Mahal" who was queen of Shahjahan.But the fact is that the original name of queen "Mumtaz Mahal" was "Mumtaz-ul-Zamani". In the literature of memories king Babar, who was ancestor of Shahjahan, had noted that he had stayed in the "Tejo Mahalaya."

Originally, on the bank of the river Yamuna this Hindu temple was built by the king "Parmardi Dev" who was ancestor of king of Jaipur, Mansing. He built this temple in 1156 a.d. (By Hindu calendar - Ashwin Shukla Pancham, Vikram Samvat 12122 - Sunday).
The temple was so huge and glorious that a poet had once written that "God Shiva" will leave the Kailash (One of the peak of the Himalayas) and will come to this "Cristal White Temple".
