Taj Mahal or Mini Taj Mahal or Qadri's Taj Mahal, officially known as Maqbara Yadgare Mohabbat Tajammuli Begum[1] is a replica of the historic Taj Mahal of Agra[2] located in Kaser Kalan, a small village in Bulandshahr of Uttar Pradesh, India.[3] It was built by an 81-year-old retired postmaster, Faizul Hasan Qadri in the memory of his dead wife Tajamulli Begum, who died due to throat cancer in 2011.[4][5][6]
A total of Rs 15 lakh spent in construction of Qadri's Taj Mahal.[7] Faizul Hasan Qadri sold a piece of land for ₹ 6 lac and his wife's jewellery for ₹ 1.5 lac and got the mausoleum constructed with the help of a local. Qadri refused to take financial help of then CM Akhilesh Yadav,[8] as he wanted to build it from his saving.[9][10] The work for Qadri's 'Taj Mahal' has been halted due to lack of finances.[11]
About founderedit
In June 2017, it was reported by Hindustan Times that Faizul Hasn Qadri donated his last piece of land for a government school for girls, even when his ‘Taj Mahal’ project was incomplete, due to lack of finances.[12][13]
The founder of Taj Mahal, Bulandshahr, Faizul Hasn Qadri died on 9 November 2018 in a road accident.[14] He was buried next to his wife in the Maqbara Yadgare Mohabbat Tajammuli Begum that he made in Kaser Kalan village of Bulandshahr.[15]
