Detailed explanation-1: -The construction of Taj Mahal took over twenty years. It was built in 1632, and in 1648, the mausoleum was finished. Another 5 years were spent on the building of the enclosure, the ancillary buildings such as gardens, so the whole complex was completed in 1653.
Detailed explanation-2: -Talking to Times Of India, an ASI official shared how the 22 rooms in the basement aren’t always locked. He said, “The basement rooms of the Taj Mahal are not sealed, they are only placed under a lock to prevent tourists from venturing into the basement.
Detailed explanation-3: -The so-called “22 rooms” in the basement of the Taj Mahal are not really rooms, rather a long arched corridor along which doors were fixed so the space could be utilised better, sources in the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) who have seen the basement area on several occasions, said.
