A replica of the Taj Mahal, built by Anand Prakash Chouksey in Burhanpur, reflects his love for his wife. Inspired by the original, let's take a look inside.

Remember the businessman who built a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife? In 2021, Anand Prakash Chouksey decided to turn his home into an architectural wonder in his hometown of Burhanpur – about 800 kilometres from where Shah Jahan's original creation sits in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

Would love to know what this architecture style is called!

The church is supposed the volcanic landscape of Tenerife. It's construction from four large concrete blocks in somewhat irregular shapes, which makes it look very special. The concrete is mixed with volcanic rocks from the area. That is also used inside to enhance the acoustics.

The interior is pretty minimalistic with a cross forming from the daylight coming in through openings in the concrete in the form of a cross.

I would say that it's a contemporary take on brutalism.

In itself it's a quite unremarkable building and quite typical for the time in which it was built. What makes it unique is of course the climbing wall which was mounted to the bell tower in 2014, and the fact that it is still an active church!

There are many churches that are no longer churches that have all sorts of things changed, but I'm not sure there are other active churches with a climbing wall attached. Perhaps I'm mistaken, if you know of any give us a hint, and maybe post it?

Probably already posted before but still quite a nice building.
