Rani Ki Vav is the True Symbol of Love. Not the Taj Mahal

The Rani Ki Vavi is an amazing subterrarean structure built in in 1063 A D by Queen Udayamati  in the memory of her husband, King Bhimdev I of the Solanki dynasty. Built 600 years before the Taj Mahal, this is one the most wonderful sculptures you can see. The structure also had a utilitarian purpose to hold water and quench the parched throats of her people and was not just a “dead tomb”.   But sickulars who promote the patriarchal western ideas of love cannot consider that a woman ruler could built something that they could consider the symbol of love.

For years they have promoted the Taj Mahal as a symbol of love. However, it is well know that:

• Mumtaz Was Shahjahan’s 4th Wife Out Of His 7 Wives
• Shahjahan Killed Mumtaz’s Husband To Marry Her !
• Mumtaz Died In Her 14th Delivery !
• He then Married Mumtaz’s Sister !
• Taj mahal was built after destroying an existing Hindu Temple – the Tejo Mahalaya
• Many of the people who built the Taj were killed so they could not make another or tell the true tale of its construction!

Where is the love in that?
