Taj Mahal, one of the greatest Seven Wonders of the World, always stood as the pride of India. Now, the esteem of India goes one step further when an Indian artist creates the replica of Taj Mahal and all in wood!
Arun Kumar Meher, an artist from Bargarh district created the five feet high and ten feet wide wooden replica of Taj Mahal. He used different shades of Sal wood to create the replica within three months.
“Not everyone can go to Agra to see the actual Taj Mahal made by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz. So, for those who have not witnessed the monument, my work will give them an idea of how it actually looks like,” According to Meher .
Different shades of Sal wood were used for making the replica. No external colours were added to it.
Locals in the area have expressed appreciation, but believe it deserves greater recognition.
Taj Mahal is one of the most popular tourist places in the world, attracting around 20,000 visitors daily.
