Did the men who built the taj mahal have their hands cut off after it was finished?

There is a popular myth that the artisans who built the Taj Mahal had their hands cut off to prevent them from creating a similar masterpiece. However, there is no historical evidence to support this claim. Most historians consider it a legend rather than a fact, as it lacks credible documentation and is likely an exaggeration. The Taj Mahal was built by skilled craftsmen, and many of their descendants continue to work in the arts today.
