MYSTERIES OF TAJ MAHAL

Mysteries that we do not know about Taj Mahal

There are many mysteries buried in Taj Mahal,Let's look at some of these reasons

Shah Jahan planned to build a black Taj Mahal, just like the white Taj Mahal. But Aurangzeb left him in the house jail, and the Aurangzeb broke the plan.


300 years ago, Taj Mahal was valued at over Rs 32 billion. It is now estimated to be 65 billion.
 Allah's 99 names are said to have been written in different colors on the walls of the Taj Mahal. It is noteworthy that Islam does not have a name for God



 It took 22 years to build this building. Stories say that Taj Mahal's hands and handcuffs have been cut by the hands of Shah Jahan because no one else can build such an excellent building.



Even in Taj Mahal, the smallest fault is built in the building of the building. This is one of the symmetrical buildings in the world. A small stream is also reported inside the Taj Mahal. The sculptors have done this job to revenge Shah Jahan.



Inside the Taj Mahal, a woman is listening to the frequent crying sounds. Some tourists have confirmed this.No one knows where the small stream runs inside the building. Thus, it is said that Shah Jahan had left the building designer alive without being alive.

Furthermore, some mention that the Taj Mahalaya Shahajah was not new and had already transformed the existing temple and turned it into the Taj Mahal.Whatever some of the mysteries are, the tourists are excited to see that the peace of mind that comes from the outside looks at the Taj Mahal. That is the truth

MAMALLAPURAM BUTTERFALLS MIRACULOUS STONE

Mamallapuram Butterfalls is a miraculous stone

In the seventh century, when the Pallava rulers ruled Mamallapuram in the port city, they constructed many cave temples and halls. UNESCO declared the "World Heritage Symbol" in 1984 as the coastal temple of the world is the world's leading trademark.


In fact, there are thousands of tourists coming from abroad, not only from India but also to the butter stone of the Butterfly.
Surprising on this stone, the largest giant rock stands for about 1200 years in the narrow rock
That is. With a height of 20 feet and 5 meters wide, the rock's weight is about 250 tons



Thus, in 1908, the then Madras governor Arthur Lale ordered to remove the rock from elephants, considering that the stone would collapse or fall on the nearby civilians.
Then the stone was pulled with 7 elephants. But the miracle of the stone was not even merely a miracle. That effort failed. None of the followers did that



Surprisingly, the researchers were wondering how the stone was fitted at the tip of the rock during the period without any technical convenience. The tsunamis, the storm winds, all the natural disasters came in, but the stone did not shine slightly

This stone is considered to be the best example of artistic talent in the Pallava dynasty. Many tourists from all over the world visit this stone to see the photographer standing nearby
