Historical Landmark
The Red Taj
The Red Taj, also known as the John Hessing Tomb, is a lesser-known but fascinating historical site in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Built in the early 19th century, it is a replica of the Taj Mahal, but made from red sandstone. The tomb was commissioned by Alice Hessing, the wife of John Hessing, a Dutch adventurer and army officer who served under the Maratha rulers.
The Red Taj is located in the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Agra and features a double dome and slender turrets, similar to the Taj Mahal, but without the minarets or decorative inlay work. It stands as a testament to the architectural skills of the time and offers a unique glimpse into the history of European adventurers in India.
