Just like the iconic monument was made by Shah Jahan as a symbol of love for his wife Mumtaz, a man from Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur has built a plush home as a gift to his spouse.
Madhya Pradesh’s resident gifted his wife a replica of Agra’s Taj Mahal.
The house has towers like the Taj Mahal and the flooring of ‘Makrana’ marbles which are brought from Rajasthan. Makrana is the same kind of marble that was used in the Taj Mahal and has now been declared ‘Global Heritage Stone.’
The house took three years to build and according to the engineer, they had to face many challenges through the process. The engineer studied the Taj Mahal closely before the construction. For the carving inside the house, he took the help of artisans from Indore and Bengal. The furniture of the house is prepared by artisans from Mumbai. Two bedrooms of the house are on the ground floor and the other two are on the upper floor. Apart from that, the house has a hall, a meditation room, a kitchen and a library.
The house has already won the ‘Ultratech Outstanding Structure of MP’ award, as per a report by Aaj Tak.
According to a report in India Today, Anand Chokse, the man behind the idea was always inclined towards the idea of Taj Mahal and used to wonder why it was not built in his city, as Mumtaz, after whom Shah Jahan made the monument, had died in this same city of Burhanpur.
This thought drove him to do the same. His 4-bedroom house is an exact replica of the Taj Mahal.
