Hindu right-wing groups and revisionist writers claim that the Taj Mahal was a Hindu temple named the "Tejo Mahalaya". Actually, much of this is coming from a book written by a man named PN Oak. It's called “Taj Mahal: The True Story.” Oak happens to be a historical revisionist from India. Prof. P.N. Oak believes that the whole world has been duped by the Taj Mahal story. He claims that the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz Mahal's tomb, but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva worshiped by the Rajputs of Agra city. According to him, the Shiva temple palace had been usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. Shah Jahan then remodeled the palace into his wife's memorial.
The explanations in support of this conspiracy theory are as stupid as this theory is, but here it is; Oak says that the term such as Taj Mahal does not occur in any Mughal court papers or chronicles, even after Shah Jahan's time. Moreover, the term Mahal has never been used for a building in any of the Muslim countries. Furthermore, if we go with the usual explanation of the name being derived from Mumtaz Mahal then that is too illogical since her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani
