Initially, Chouksey had allegedly urged his engineers to build a house 80 feet high. But, permission for such a structure was not granted. Following the rejection, he decided to build a Taj Mahal-like structure.

It is reportedly said that Chouksey’s unique house was built over a period of three years. The engineers built it on the basis of a 3D image of the Taj Mahal.

The engineer had also visited the Taj Mahal to study it in detail. He also went to Bibi Ka Maqbara, a similar monument in Aurangabad.
