A man from India's Tamil Nadu has built a memorial modelled on the iconic Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world.
As per News18, Amrudheen Sheik Dawood built the stunning replica to honour his late mother Jailani Bheevi. Bheebi passed away in 2020. Reportedly, she raised Dawood and his 4 sisters single-handedly after his father died.
The Taj Mahal in Agra, often cited as one of the wonders of the world, was commissioned by Shah Jahan to act as the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal.
As per historical accounts, Mumtaz Mahal died in the Shahi Mahal in Burhanpur in June 1631. Her mortal remains were preserved for six months in a grave known as Ahukhana before they were shifted to Agra, where the original Taj Mahal was later constructed.
Local historians said Shah Jahan initially wanted to build the Taj Mahal on the banks of the Tapti River in the Burhanpur district but chose Agra due to some reasons.
