आम इंसान के प्यार में बना लाल Taj Mahal(John Hessing's Tomb) | Agra Heritage Tour | Ep-4

John Hessing's tomb or Red Taj Mahal in Agra is situated inside the premises of a Roman Catholic cemetery and is also known as Agra ka Lal Taj Mahal. This tomb is made up of red sandstone and it bears striking resemblance from Taj Mahal and thus the name 'Red Taj'. This video is based on my recent visit to this Tomb.
A lot of people ask me 'Lal Taj Mahal ke baare mein batao'. So, let me now tell you the history behind the construction of this tomb of Col. John Hessing.
John Hessing (November 5, 1739 - July 21, 1803), a dutch citizen, was a well known military officer who served in the armies of the Maratha Empire in the late 18th as well as early 19th centuries.
After working for a few years in the Army of Madhoji Scindia, in 1792, Scindia even took him along to Pune. After the death of Madhoji Scindia in 1794, Hessing returned back to Agra. In the battle of Kardala, Hessing commanded 3000 Maratha regular troops, in which the Maratha army defeated the Nizam of Hyderabad on March 12, 1795. In 1799, Hessing was given the post of Commander pf the Agra Fort. In June 1801, Hessing was given the responsibility to command four battalions outside Ujjain, which were attacked and defeated by Yashwantrao Holkar, the Indore's Maratha ruler. Hessing fought with the Maratha army against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War.
He finally died in Agra on 21 July 1803 while he was in command of the Maratha forces there and unfortunately in the same year Britishers attacked and occupied the Agra fort.
Colonel John Hessing's Tomb was built by his wife and children in his memory. It is built on an 11 feet tall and 58 feet wide platform. There is an undergroud place inside the tomb where the original burials of Hessing can be seen. On the west side of the tomb, an 8 feet long platform can also be seen. Looking at this monument, once can surely say that it is a good example of Indo-Islamic Architecture.
Hessing's tomb(Red Taj) is situated inside the Padretola, or Padresanto, a Christian cemetery in Agra.
The tomb of John Hessing, hard by, is a still more splendid edifice, being a copy, in red sandstone, of the famous Taj Mahal, and on a pretty extensive scale too, though far smaller than the original. The tomb, which was completed in or about the year of the British conquest, bears an inscription in good English, setting forth that the deceased colonel was a Dutchman, who died Commandant of Agra, in his 63rd year, 21 July 1803, just before Lake's successful siege of the place.*

This is hindu temple
