Six lawyers in Agra have moved the Civil Court with the prayer to declare Taj Mahal a Shiva temple. The lawyers have made Lord Agreshwar Mahadev a party in their suit to claim the ownership of Taj Mahal.

Lawyer Harishankar and his friends have sought court’s direction to allow Hindus to start worship in Taj Mahal which they claimed is actually a Shiva temple. The suit also wants the court to direct the authorities to restraint any religious activity by Muslims in Taj Mahal. It also sought the removal of all the graves from the premise of Taj Mahal.
