The famed Taj Mahal has long inspired copies made from such materials as matchsticks, plastic blocks, or sand. Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, built a three-quarter-sized replica for a shopping festival several years ago. Architects may decry such attempts to replicate the Mughal masterpiece but that has not dissuaded a Bangladeshi man from spending millions of dollars to build what he claims is a life-sized copy of the original. VOA Correspondent Steve Herman traveled to Sonargaon in Bangladesh to have a look.

  • Maybe instead of building a 60 million dollar building for people who can't visit the real one he should have done something actually useful for these people.

  • I believe it's a mistake to build this Taj Mahal. It's a waste of his money and land.

    Bangladesh is a small country we need more housing.. not wonders

  • dirty freemason wasting money.

  • I don't see whats wrong. It is his money that he spent with his hard work. Also it will stimulate the economy. Also it will attract business. That is how the economy works and a country becomes prosperous. Are you people stupid!?!?

  • I don't see anything wrong in this...he has made this replica with his own money for his country, but could have been spent this money for some use full purpose like a science museum for young students or a research institute - because 60 million dollar is not a small amount...
