A video of a breathtaking Taj Mahal-type house in Madhya Pradesh has gone viral, not only capturing the majesty of its architecture but also the heartwarming reason behind its construction. Posted on Instagram by content creator Priyam Saraswat, the video shows the lavish 4-BHK marble mansion of businessman Anand Prakash Chouksey, situated close to Indore.
In the clip, Mr. Saraswat inquires of the couple whether the house is a replica of the famous Taj Mahal and whether it’s in dedication to Mr. Chouksey’s wife. Mr. Chouksey smiles and says, “Absolutely, it is 100% dedicated to her. And our love stands strong with us.”

Constructed completely of Makrana marble, the same marble employed for the original Taj Mahal, the house is a one-third scale model with its measurements translated from meters to feet. The construction cost was around Rs 2 crore, according to the BBC. Surrounded by a 50-acre estate, the house lies on the grounds of a school established by Mr. Chouksey.
The house boasts four bedrooms, a meditation room, a library, carved pillars, and arched doorways. The video has been viewed over 14.7 million times and 1.3 million people have liked it on Instagram since it was posted.
Netizens have appreciated both the design and the humility of Mr. Chouksey. One user said, “A school, a monument, and a message all in one. Remarkable.” Another said, “His humbleness outshines even the grandeur of the house. A true symbol of love and grace.”
The house has become synonymous with something greater than architectural elegance, it is love, humility, and identity with one’s heritage. As another viewer described it, “This is the craziest dedication to love in this day and age.”
