Taj Mahal tribute: Post Master builds replica for his Late Wife

Taj Mahal is considered one of the wonders of the world. Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in fond memory of his beloved wife Mumtaj has made its rank in the top five world's best tourist attraction.

Following the Mughal emperor is a retired postmaster, Faizul Hasan Qadri from Kaser Kalan village in Uttar Pradesh who has built a replica of the monument in the memory of his beloved wife Tajamulli.

Married in 1953, Qadri’s wife was diagnosed with throat cancer and passed away in 2011. The 80-year-old man sold a piece of land and his wife's jewellery for constructing the mini Taj. However, nearing to completion of the replica, the retired postmaster is facing some financial crisis. Having already spent around Rs.11 lakhs, Quadri needs more Rs. 6-7 lakhs to get the marble studded for a finishing touch.

Witnessing his contribution towards his beloved 'begum', many including Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav who have appreciated his dedication and work, offered him monetary help but Faizul Hasan Qadri has denied all the help.
