Madhya Pradesh man builds wife a Taj Mahal replica

Anand Prakash Chouksey, a resident of Madhya Pradesh, has built a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife Manjusha Chouksey. The educationist's original plan involved a 80-foot high building, which got scrapped after permission for such a structure was not granted.

The Burhanpur resident got the four-bedroom building constructed after studying the architecture of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Chouksey believes that his house will serve as a spectacle that no tourist can afford to miss while visiting Burhanpur.

The unique house has been built over three years based on 3D images of the Taj Mahal studied by engineers.


The house is spread across 90 square metres with minarets, with the basic structure occupying 60 square metres. The dome is 29 feet high and consists of two bedrooms on two floors.

The house also has a kitchen, a library and meditation room.
