Faizul Hasan Qadri was a retired postman who didn’t belong to the Mughal lineage. But he loved his wife of 57 years so strong that he built her a mausoleum - a Taj Mahal replica built from concrete.

On Friday morning, 9 November, the 82-year-old ‘Shah Jahan of the Poor’ passed away in a hospital in Meerut after he was hit by a motorcycle. Now, Qadri will be laid to rest next to his beloved Tajamulli Begum, in a grave he dug a few years back inside his ‘Taj Mahal’.

The concrete Taj Mahal has made Qadri’s village in Uttar Pradesh quite famous.
