A petition has been filed in the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court<\/a> seeking to open closed doors to locate Hindu idols inside the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The petition has been filed by Dr Rajnish Singh through Advocate Rudra Vikram Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The petition said that several Hindu groups are claiming that the Taj Mahal is an old Shiva temple known as Tejo Mahalaya and this is also supported by several historians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The petition further said that these claims have created a situation where Hindus and Muslims are fighting among themselves and hence the dispute needs to be ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The petition also sought a direction to the government to constitute a fact-finding committee (Archaeological Survey of India) to search for important historical evidence such as statues and inscriptions hidden inside the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
