1. The building had a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.

2. Symmetry with respect to the center on either side is a matter of awe in this building.

3.The walls of this monument were covered with precious stones and gems which were plundered later.

4. It was built with 20000 artisans in 22years with 35 million rupees.'

5. There have been controversies that it was not a muslim tomb, but a hindu temple with the name "Tejo Mahalaya". I found it here


If you know the answer, do comment here. Try not disclosing directly.
1. Either add another fact that you know about the building.
or
2. Write the answer in cryptic form that is less obvious
or
3. Just state you got it right

I shall get back with the answer soon.

Dear Meenloch,

Got it , The workers had their arms amputated so that they cannot come up with a replica. Thats the saddest part. A beautiful monument built on so many tears!!

Got it.

Good to be back to your quizzes Meenloch! Missed the last one while I was out but came and immediately checked what it was

Bunty Aur Bubbly is one movie from recent years that has made me laugh from within. As for my taste buds, I am not much of a sweet eater but I am always up for eating authentic "pethaa".

Does the above para make any sense to you gals? .

Oviya,
He did love her and wanted to create a black version of Taj right opposite to the existing one. He could never finish it.

Devika,
There are so many controversies about who designed it, that it already existed and shajahan just built on the already existing structure etc like the last point says.
As for records of our history books, what you said does hold true.

Vase,
There are more references to the 5 th point. P.N.Oaks I think is a famous historian. If you are interested you can browse around the net for more from Dr.Oaks
