The most photographed building in central Nowshera, the Taj Building stands at a junction on the Grand Trunk Road just west of the bazaar. Built in the early 20th century by a local merchant, it combines a typical Hindkowan three-storey shop facade with a small ornamental dome — a deliberate echo of Agra's Taj Mahal in miniature, hence the name.
The ground floor is still in commercial use; the upper floors are residential. A useful landmark when navigating the town.
