Banglar Tajmahal

Taj mahal is situated at Agra in India. It is Built by the Emperor Sahajan.

Now Taj mahal is replaces at sonargon in Banglaesh named as Banglar Taj mahal.Ahsanullah Moni, a Bangladeshi film maker had the Taj Mahal replica constructed in Sonargaon, a small town located 30 kms away from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

"Taj Mahal" at a cost of Taka 400 crore, which was opened for all in exchange of entry fees though "it is not built with a commercial purpose".
The replica, located 30 km (18 miles) off Dhaka city, which he called "Banglar Taj Mahal", has been built on over four acres of land while the complex was much bigger in size to accommodate a five-star motel, a huge film studio and an amusement park. Moni, a film maker and hotelier, said the idea of building the structure first stroke his mind when he first visited Agra in 1980 while he made six more trips there to realise his plan to replicate it.

Banglar Taj Mahal" was not exactly the same size of the original while he used different materials including stones for the replica considering their weather suitability.
He said he imported marble and granite from Italy, diamonds from Belgium and used 160 kilograms of bronze for the structure built with the help of modern technology.
Otherwise it would have taken 20 years and 22,000 workers to complete it as the original structure had required.

Emperor Shajan Began around 1632 and was completed around 1653 and woked 20,000 men. It took huge time. But new Taj mahal took only 5 years and very less people. Ahsanullah Moni imported granite and marble from Italy and diamonds from Belgium for the decorations.

Banglar Tajmahal

NARAYANGANJ, Bangladesh, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- A replica of Taj Mahal which is still under construction opened to the public Tuesday in Bangladesh's Narayanganj district, about 30 km southeast of capital Dhaka.
Ahsan Ulla Moni, owner of the replica, said he was inspired by Taj Mahal in India when he first visited there in 1980 and had the idea to build one in Bangladesh.
"This is the second Taj Mahal in the world. I am really proud of that," he said.
The designer of the replica is Manik Mia. He is a Bangladeshi architect.
Moni said almost all the materials used in building the replica were imported.
He said the project started in March 2003, and was supposed to finish in March 2009. "We will officially inaugurate the Taj Mahal replica in the Liberation Day on March 26, 2009."
Moni is a businessman, which business covers film producing, cinema and hotel.
Moni invested 4 billion taka (about 57 million U.S. dollars) to build a film city in his hometown in Narayanganj, covering an area of 50 acres (about 20 hectares). Replica of Taj Mahal, which covers an area of 4 acres (about 1.6 hectares), is part of it.
"I plan to shoot a film about the story of Taj Mahal. So I build the replica of Taj Mahal," he said.
"I also hope the landmark construction can attract more tourists from home and abroad," he added.
Taj Mahal replica attracted a lot of people on the first day of opening. Though it is still under construction, people visited it with great interest.
Moni said people can buy ticket with 50 taka (about 71 cents) to visit the place.
The replica of Taj Mahal is the same size with the original one in India. "It will look wonderful after it completes," Moni said.

Banglar Tajmahal

NARAYANGANJ, Bangladesh, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- A replica of Taj Mahal which is still under construction opened to the public Tuesday in Bangladesh's Narayanganj district, about 30 km southeast of capital Dhaka.
Ahsan Ulla Moni, owner of the replica, said he was inspired by Taj Mahal in India when he first visited there in 1980 and had the idea to build one in Bangladesh.
"This is the second Taj Mahal in the world. I am really proud of that," he said.
The designer of the replica is Manik Mia. He is a Bangladeshi architect.
Moni said almost all the materials used in building the replica were imported.
He said the project started in March 2003, and was supposed to finish in March 2009. "We will officially inaugurate the Taj Mahal replica in the Liberation Day on March 26, 2009."
Moni is a businessman, which business covers film producing, cinema and hotel.
Moni invested 4 billion taka (about 57 million U.S. dollars) to build a film city in his hometown in Narayanganj, covering an area of 50 acres (about 20 hectares). Replica of Taj Mahal, which covers an area of 4 acres (about 1.6 hectares), is part of it.
"I plan to shoot a film about the story of Taj Mahal. So I build the replica of Taj Mahal," he said.
"I also hope the landmark construction can attract more tourists from home and abroad," he added.
Taj Mahal replica attracted a lot of people on the first day of opening. Though it is still under construction, people visited it with great interest.
Moni said people can buy ticket with 50 taka (about 71 cents) to visit the place.
The replica of Taj Mahal is the same size with the original one in India. "It will look wonderful after it completes," Moni said.
