According to the masters, the architecture of the Taj Mahal is actually an example of bad Feng Shui and may have destined Shah Jahan to misfortune. Though beautifully balanced visually, the Taj Mahal's narrow reflecting pool and two pathways are said to create a powerful line of energy that converges on the heart of the building. Some Feng Shui experts claimed that this line of energy ultimately affected the health, stability, and long-term political power of the ruler.
From the history books we have learnt that after the Taj Mahal was completed, Shah Jahan became seriously ill, leading to a violent battle for succession among his sons. A year later he was deposed and imprisoned at the Agra Fort, from where he could look wistfully at the magnificent Taj. It was at the Fort that Shah Jahan died in captivity. I wonder what these experts have to say about the Feng Shui of the Great Wall of China? Maybe, I'll try to look it up and share with everyone here.
