Bulandshahr's 'Mini Taj Mahal': A Love Story That Defied Time and Tragedy

• Faizul Hasan Qadri, a retired postmaster from Bulandshahr, built a 'Mini Taj Mahal' in memory of his late wife, Tajjamuli Begum.
• Childless, Qadri promised his wife a monument to ensure she would always be remembered, fulfilling it after her passing in 2011.
• He spent his life savings (23 lakh rupees), sold his wife's jewelry and land, and saved 70% of his 10,000 rupees monthly pension to complete the structure.
• Tragically, Qadri died in a road accident at 81 shortly after the Mini Taj Mahal's completion.
• He registered the monument and 6 bighas of land with the Sunni Waqf Board, with the condition that they protect it, refusing any private financial aid.

Why It Matters: Faizul Hasan Qadri's 'Mini Taj Mahal' in Bulandshahr is a testament to enduring love and dedication.
