The legend of the Taj Mahal is one that will never be overrated. Granted, there are many versions of the stories but there is one that stands out. So, there is a story about craftsmen that have been told over and over again.
The gist is that there was a day where they were looking at the Taj Mahal they had created and were mesmerized by their abilities. However, on the next day, they no longer had any hands to work with. So, what really happened?
This story has been told over and over again by many. Some have even created a unique version of it.
Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. It is also a highly visited world attraction. Tourists come from all over the world to relish in its beauty and enjoy its wonder. Granted, the story of builders whose hands were dismembered may just be a story. But it contributes to the history that we so much want to know about this building.
Builders and craftsmen thought together to establish one of the most beautiful buildings the world had ever seen. It was to be the kind of building that would make everyone stop in their tracks and get lost in admiration. The idea was to build a monument so glorifying that they would never have to build another monument again. This was the story of the Taj Mahal.
However, once the monument was established, Shah Jahan ordered that all those who have participated in the building to suffer dire consequences, so that they will never be able to build a great monument like Taj Mahal. As such, their hands were dismembered and their eyes pulled out of their socket.
While this myth keeps going around, historians often dispute it. Even though they claim that it is baseless, this has not stopped the myth of the Taj Mahal from scaring us stiff.
