Taj Mahal Bangladesh

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. It was opened to the public in March, 2009.

Controversy

The Indian High Commission expressed concern about possible copyright infringement of the original building, despite it being "unlikely to detract from the magnificence of the original".
