The 4-bedroom house, a replica of the Taj Mahal, was built in an area of 8100 sq ft in Burhanpur, and it took three years to build.
However, it was not an easy task for the engineer who was behind the construction of this house. The engineer said there were many challenges in the construction of a house. He had to study the real Taj Mahal closely, and he even sought help from artists from Bengal and Indore for the carving inside the house.
The house has Taj Mahal-like towers, and the flooring of the house has been made from ‘Makrana’ of Rajasthan. Artisans from Mumbai had done the furniture. The dome of the house is at the height of 29 feet.
The house consists of a big hall, two bedrooms downstairs, two bedrooms upstairs, a library and a meditation room.
When asked about their love story, Chouksey told the Free Press Journal, “One day my wife sarcastically asked me what can I do for her. I said I will build a Taj Mahal in your love and here it is.”
“The measurement of the house is on the scale of ft of the Taj Mahal. Our engineer took the 3D measurement of the Taj Mahal and built this house on the meter-to-ft scale. The dome of the house is at a height of 29 feet. It has Taj Mahal-like towers and the flooring of the house has been made from ‘Makrana’ of Rajasthan and the furniture has been prepared by the artisans of Mumbai,” Chouskey added.
When asked about his inspiration, he added: “The Taj Mahal would have been built in Burahpur but due to obvious reasons, it could not. Queen Mumtaz Mahal breathed her last here and her mortal was kept here for six months before going to Agra. The Badshahi Qila where she died, now lies abandoned. This inspired me, besides my love for my wife, to build the replica here.”
“Our country lacks love and humanity. Everyone is busy digging past but one should be worried to build the future. I want to love and humanity to prevail. I made my house to spread the idea of love; so that people feel the love.”
