No I am not talking about a small scupture or a decorative piece that looks like Taj Mahal. I am talking about 42-foot high mini Taj Mahal which will be built in the coastal city of Alapuzha, 140 km north of Thiruvananthapuram.
While Shah Jahan built the famous Taj Mahal in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal a former naval officer is creating a replica as a tribute to those who’ve laid down their lives for the nation.
Kumar sold his ancestral property to raise money for the memorial named Shanti Mahal (Palace of Peace). Work on the Rs one crore (Rs 10 million) project started in January 2008 and if things go according to plan, the doors of this mini Taj will be opened to people in January 2010.
The monument will have four minarets representing the army, air force, navy and other security forces such as the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. Names of war heroes and victims of recent terror strikes, including those killed in the November 26 Mumbai attacks will be engraved on the walls of the main structure.
“I am planning to provide free accommodation and food to families of war heroes who visit the monument. Rare photographs of heroes and the war will be displayed. Everybody is free to visit the monument free of cost,” said Kumar.
