A couple from Madhya Pradesh has won hearts online after a video of their unique home—a mini Taj Mahal—went viral on social media. The 4BHK residence, made entirely from Makrana marble, is located within the campus of a school in Burhanpur, established by the homeowner, Anand Prakash Chouksey.
In the video posted on Instagram by Priyam Saraswat, the couple gives a tour of their stunning home, which mirrors iconic features of the original monument, including finely carved pillars, elegant domes, and arched doorways. Constructed using the same Makrana marble as the Taj Mahal, their “mahal” is built with double walls—nine inches thick with a two-foot gap in between—helping the interior remain at a constant temperature regardless of the weather outside.
Inside their home, they have intricate inlay work on the marble, which reportedly took 8-10 days to complete. Inside, it is a modern home with a touch of tradition. In their living area, the furniture has gold accents which compliments the marble house very well.
They confirmed that the house is inspired by the iconic monument from Agra. The structure mirrors the proportions of the original, but it’s one-third the size of the original. “The original Taj Mahal’s dimensions in metres have been replicated here in feet,” he stated.
Chouksey explains that the home is “100 percent dedicated” to his wife as a symbol of their enduring love.“And our love stands strong with us,” he said. Interestingly enough, their house is located inside a school that Chouksey founded in Burhanpur.
Internet Reacts “Adorable!”
The video went viral on Instagram, amassing 6.5 million views in 8 hours. The house has sparked admiration among netizens, not only because of its craftsmanship but also because of its adorable message. It stands as a message of love and hope for younger generations.
Here are some comments from the video:
One user said “Uncle has such a cool vibe ” while another stated “I loved the couple more than the house. Amazing”.
“Wow! What thoughts the owner has! The entrance of the house reminds him of his humble beginnings and never to forget! That’s a great lesson” said one user.
This user rightly said “Uncle has a more beautiful heart than his Mahal”.
