Film's premise
Plot of 'The Taj Story'
The Taj Story revolves around Das, a tour guide who believes that the Taj Mahal is not a mausoleum but a temple. He files a public interest litigation demanding an investigation into the origins of the monument, which gradually leads to a heated courtroom battle between historians and lawyers. The film sparked controversy during its release for touching upon the "Tejo Mahalaya" theory, which controversially claims that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple.
