"These photos provide a deeper view and a tour into the secrets of the Taj Mahal. There are also a few blueprints of the Taj Mahal to look at further proofs of the real purpose and function of the Taj Mahal. I thank Mr. V. S. Godbole for allowing me to use these photos to present them in a way so that everyone can see them through the internet. "- Mr.Stephen Knapp.
This is an additional collection that provides a closer look at the secrets of the Taj Mahal as supplied by V. S. Godbole from England.

In a detail on the gate, we can see two elephant’s trunks, one on either side of the design, which would indicate Ganesh. 
Taj Photo # 9
Inverted water-pots on top. Their number is always odd, 11 in this case, typical of the Vedic system. Notice also the cobra design in pairs below the gallery. Koranic inscriptions were a graffiti added by Shahjahan.
Taj Photo # 10
Wall decorations as we see here are typical Rajput style. There is also a balcony at first floor level.
Taj Photo # 11
A close up of the the graffiti, i.e. Koranic inscriptions put up by Shahjahan.

Note the Trident within the lotus form at the apex. Both of which are Vedic references, the trident being connected with Lord Shiva.

The Veranda on the west side of the Entrance Gate. It was probably for public assemblies, discussions, teaching or chanting of Mantras.

Examples of the Dhotra flowers in the marble work of the Taj Mahal.
