The taj is a symbol of love from the grandson of akbar, Shah Jahan, to his dead wife (mumtaz mahal) who died after giving birth to her fourteenth son. Because he loved her so much he built it for her as a tomb.
What is written above is a British-Muslim Propaganda. Shah Jehan had no queen named Taj Mahal; it is impossible. Taj means crown; Mahal means building. Is it possible for any woman to have a strange name Crown Building. Mahal is Sanskrit. The court language during Shah Jehan was Persian, where a building is called Manzil, not Mahal.
Shah Jehan's favourite queen's name was Arjumand Zamani not Taj Mahal.
Shah Jehan got this building from Jagat Singh, the grand son of Man Singh, commander in chief of Akbar, the grandfather of Shah Jehan. Man Singh got it from earlier days. Taj Mahal was a part of a Hindu palace. It has four floors; which the British blocked with stonewalls.
The building is facing East, just like any Hindu building, not west, which any Muslim building should face.
It has motives of flowers and plants, prohibited in Muslim architecture.
It has octagonal shape, according to Hindu Vastu Shastra.
It was never built by Shah Jehan, who modified it to put verses of Koran, not any love poems.
