Well people make replicas in terms of pandals or just for decorations. Other historical buildings who look like taj mahal are because it was considered the marvel in architecture and because a lot of people in olden days couldnt afford to go see real taj mahal. infact they made a 1/3 replica of taj mahal in bengladesh so that their poor people can see it without having to go to agra.

Legand has it that shahjahan wanted to build a black marble Taj across the river with a silver bridge connecting it. but before he could do that his son imprisoned/killed him.

Thanks for the explanation kaka :k:
