The Taj Mahal in Agra is an auspicious setting to begin your journey together. Honeymoon tours in Agra, on your Holidays and tours India, will bring alive the romantic aura of the city forever cast under the spell of Taj Mahal’s epic beauty.But I can’t say that Taj mahal is Tomb or Temple .Following are some factors to show for this……………… 1.The term Tajmahal itself never occurs in any mogul court paper or chronicle even in Aurangzeb’s time. The attempt to explain it away as Taj-i-mahal is therefore, ridiculous.
2.The ending “Mahal” is never muslim because in none of the muslim countries around the world from Afghanistan to Algeria is there a building known as “Mahal”.
3.The unusual explanation of the term Tajmahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal, who is buried in it, is illogical in at least two respects viz., firstly her name was never Mumtaj Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani and secondly one cannot omit the first three letters “Mum” from a woman’s name to derive the remainder as the name of the building.
