Tajmahal ka tender is a satire on the rank, file, red tape and officialdom.

This play is a part of Month-long theatre festival by Rangdhara, Sutradhar at Lamakaan over Sat & Sun weekends at 7:30pm in January.

The play evolves on an imaginary note, wherein, if Shajahan were to build Taj Mahal in this century, the hurdles he would face. It focuses on the organisational diseases that our country is suffering from corruption, favouritism, arrogance and insensitiveness to public needs.

The construction of the Taj Mahal is given to an engineer from the state, who takes this opportunity to make money out of the emperor and takes his own sweet time to start the process of construction. He floats a tender to accommodate his own men to gain and get the kick backs.

The engineer sets up a corporation for building the Taj Mahal and starts the construction of the office building for the corporation first.

Each time the Emperor asks for an update he gives lame excuses on one context or the other and in ten years time he also builds his own house.

Years pass by and there is no sign of the Taj being built and the emperor dies without seeing the Taj built.

However, the Corporation set up to build the TAJ celebrates its silver jubilee and the engineer gets extension of service.

The scenes in the play were what we see around in all the contracts which are being handled by different agencies in the country.
