A copy of Taj Mahal is being built in Sonargaon, near Dhaka















a copy of the original Taj Mahal (a Mughal mausoleum located in Agra, India). It located 10 miles east of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka in Sonargaon. Unlike the original, work on the building took only five years and reportedly cost its wealthy owner USD $58 million. Ahsanullah Moni, a wealthy Bangladeshi film-maker, has told how he built a replica of the Taj Mahal so that the poor of his nation can realise their dream of seeing neighbouring India's famed monument.
