Truth about the Black Taj Mahal

Story of Black Taj Mahal

Many people believe that corresponding to this sparkling white Taj, Shah Jehan had planned to build another Taj Mahal in black marble, which was to be his own tomb on the opposite bank of the River Yamuna and connect the two by a bridge. This legend further got wings in form of the records of a contemporary traveler who noted that Shah Jehan began to build his own tomb on the other side of the river but because of the war with his sons, his plan was interrupted. Later, Aurangzeb was unwilling to complete it. These people also cite irregular positioning of the cenotaph of Shah Jehan as compared to the central positioning of that of Mumtaz Mahal as a proof to their theory. They further attach the Mehtab Burj opposite the Taj Mahal and its adjoining wall as actually the foundations and remnants of the abandoned plan.

However, most of these theories are only rumors as there is no logical base to substantiate them. While there are records that prove that the Mehtab Burj and the adjoining wall were just the part of the enclosing wall and the remains of a garden laid by the first Mughal emperor Babur much before Taj Mahal was constructed, the irregular positioning of Shah Jehan's cenotaph to that of Mumtaz Mahal's, is not of much significance either as this pattern can also be seen at the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah and was only done to conform to the Islamic law stating that bodies of the departed should be buried with their head towards Mecca and legs towards south and also that the husband should always be placed on the right hand side of his wife. So all these assumptions are baseless and are even scoffed at by some other historians.
