Taj Mahal was built on this man's land, the owner's name was…, he was Shah Jahan's…
Taj Mahal: The Taj Mahal is one of the most stunning monuments in the world and also among the Seven Wonders of the World. The monument is also very famous because it is a symbol of eternal love. Millions of visitors flock to Agra to visit the Taj's beautiful architecture and rich history. The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century in loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. UNESCO also declared the monument as a World Heritage Site.
The Taj Mahal has several mysteries, and one of it is the tale of the land on which the monument was built. Lets know the story.
As per historical records, the land w\here the Taj Mahal was built did not originally belong to Mughal ruler Shah Jahan. The land wasn't seized by the Mughal ruler but exchanged willingly. Land Belonged To Jaipur King
Shah Jahan's wife Mumtaz Mahal died in 1631 in Burhanpur. Her body was buried in Burhanpur but after six months the body of the queen was moved Agra. As per historical records, the land selected to build the Taj Mahal was owned by a Rajput king and ally of Shah Jahan Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amer.
According to a Mughal record Padshahnama, the land belonged to Raja Man Singh, grandfather of Jai Singh. He donated the land to Shah Jahan. Historical documents indicate that the land now occupied by the Taj Mahal was previously owned by the Kachhwaha Rajputs, and the site featured a large, domed structure.
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) also suggests that the land was owned by Raja Jai Singh was a Rajput king and one of Shah Jahan's trusted allies. The Mughal king negotiated with Singh and acquired the land in exchange for four havelis in Agra. Part Of A Common Practice
Notably, the exchange of properties was a common practice and part of cooperation between the Mughal rulers and regional Rajput kings. Raja Jai Singh was a highly regarded and loyal military leader within the Mughal court, known for his strong alliance with the emperor.
BJP MP Diya Kumari, who belongs to the Jaipur royal family, claimed that the land originally belonged to her ancestors.
'Records available with the Jaipur family show that the land belonged to us. Compensation was given in return for the land,' Kumari told media. History Of The Land
Contrary to claims of seizure, the land transfer between allied dynasties was a mutually agreeable exchange, highlighting the monument's importance as a symbol not only of affection but also of cooperation and peaceful coexistence between powerful contemporary rulers.

Hirebenakal eyes Unesco heritage tag through site upgrade

Koppal: Development initiatives are being planned at Hirebenakal, a 3,000-year-old megalithic site in Gangavathi taluk, with the goal of securing Unesco World Heritage status. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Situated 40km from the district headquarters, it requires a 10km uphill trek to reach the archaeological site. The site, under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Hampi Circle's protection, sits atop a castellated granite hillock, accessible from 3km southeast of the village. British officer Philip Meadows Taylor first discovered these monuments in 1835 while serving at the court of Nizam of Hyderabad. He presented the site internationally through a research publication in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. Locals describe the site, spanning over 20 hectares, as 'Morera houses'. The site's information board indicates these stone structures were built as memorials for the deceased. Some suggest Stone Age dwarfs inhabited these house-like formations. A large pond exists near the structures, indicating Neolithic Age inhabitants, primarily farmers, occupied this area. These rock tombs and cave art are currently on Unesco's World Heritage tentative list. The site houses the second-largest collection of monuments after Madhya Pradesh's cave paintings. Termed 'Rock monuments of early man', numerous well-preserved tombs exist here. Experts estimate approximately 500 tombs at this megalithic site. The site displays rock paintings depicting dancing, hunting, and weapon-wielding figures. Additional artwork includes geometric patterns and mystical designs of deer, peacocks, humped bulls, bullocks, horses, and cows. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "If properly excavated, more important things can come to light at this site," says Dr Sharanabasappa Kolkar, a historian from Gangavathi. A hemispherical kettledrum stone, strategically positioned on a hillock, measures 2.2m in diameter with 1.5m radial height. It sits on a 10m high monolithic boulder with a beating surface. When struck with stone or wooden implements, it produces musical sounds audible beyond 1km. Dr Sharanabasappa Kolkar mentions that during Rajnish Goyal's visit, the Kalaburgi regional commissioner, in 2010, they proposed including the site in the Unesco World Heritage list. The archaeological department forwarded the application, but Unesco rejected it. "Due to persistent efforts, two years ago, Unesco added the Hirebenkal megalithic site to its provisional list, and we must accelerate efforts to secure its place on the permanent list," he emphasised. Tourism minister HK Patil, during his recent visit, announced plans to develop the site to international standards. He assured that govt would undertake all necessary steps to achieve World Heritage List recognition. Additionally, Patil announced that to educate Bengaluru residents about the site's importance, they would organise a photographic exhibition of the rock tombs at the Venkatappa Art Gallery by Aug 15. Plans are under way to conduct further research within a 5km radius of the hill.
