Apart from the eternal love stories of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, there is one mysterious tale about secret rooms inside this monument which aren't accessible to the common public. Feeling curious right?
As people discovered about these rooms, many rumoured stories picked up and reached out to people. Visitors of Taj Mahal were intrigued about these rooms and began exploring more and have come with their interesting theories behind this mystery. But what's unusual is why the government is not giving access to these sealed rooms to the public? Let's leave that to the officials.
And check out some hideous and appalling stories behind these dark, shabby rooms.
Who would want to enter these dark rooms? Many such doorways of chambers in secret rooms underneath the Taj Mahal have been sealed with brick and lime.
1.2 Would you want to go inside?
There are thousands of arches like these and that have their own stories.
2. Something hidden beside Mumtaz's grave.
We all know that there is a grave of the beloved Mumtaz at this place, which is at the riverside. But what people don't know is there is a two storey marble structure that hides beside the riverside. Why is it hidden that way?
3. Adding religion angle to the secret.
Another angle that Hindu followers believed was that, Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple for Lord Shiva. Shah Jahan covered these ventilators with stone-brick or marble brick to hide any Hindu origin. He hid the Hindu idols and images in those rooms.
3.1 Symbol from Hindu origin.
The pillars were filled with sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses.

4. People shut all rumors and give scientific logic.
