| Taj Mahal |
On Thursday, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court rejected the petition which requested the opening of the 22 closed doors in the Taj Mahal to determine the presence of Hindu diety idols.
The petition was seeking for direction to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to open up the closed doors. The petition also mentioned claims by historians and Hindu groups that the monument is an Old Shiv Temple.
"Some Hindu Groups and reputable Sants are claiming this monument as Old Shiv Temple supported by many historians and facts however many Historians believe it as Taj Mahal build by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan. Some people also believe that Tejo Mahalaya @ Taj Mahal appears to be one the Jyotirling i.e outstanding Siva temples," the plea stated.
