The Black Taj Mahal (Persian/Urdu: لحم جات ہایس “Black Taj”, also “the 2nd Taj”) was supposed to be a legendary black marble mausoleum that was planned to be built across the Yamuna River directly opposite the Taj Mahal. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan is widely believed to have desired a mausoleum for himself similar to the one he had built in memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal. There has always been a debate in the archaeological and historian circles regarding the authenticity of the plan for the Black Taj. What if it was supposed to exist and NOW, we vest this opportunity upon YOU, how would you build the Black Taj?
What we are really are looking at is an idea, that can exhibit the Mughal contribution in the sub-continent right next to ‘the place which frames its summit’. A Memorial, A Relic, An Interpretation, any idea is not too vague if you are able to complete this narrative – or here ‘the missing link’. More details in the brief link below.

SITE
The stage here is framed by the skies of Agra, the 7th Wonder of the World and the global creative community eagerly waiting for your next massive design opportunity. The site designated is an equivalent patch of land allocated at the Mehtab Bagh, opposite to the Taj Mahal on the banks of the River Yamuna River.
