Taj Mahal Bangladesh (Bengali: তাজ মহল বাংলাদেশ) is an architectural imitation of Taj Mahal, a Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India,. The structure was built by Ahsanullah Moni, a Bangladeshi film-maker, as a tourism destination for low-income families from Bangladesh. Construction of the 1.6 hectare complex took five years from 2003 to 2008, and cost about $58 million.[1][2] It was opened to the public in March, 2009.[3]
Controversy
[edit | edit source]The Indian High Commission expressed concern about possible copyright infringement of the original building,[4] despite it being "unlikely to detract from the magnificence of the original".[5]
