WA Chambers’ design for the modified dome: Official local history records that JN Tata’s radical English friend,
WA Chambers, was the Indian Hotel Company’s ‘Engineer and Architect’. But that is only half the story, for the original design of the Taj was undoubtedly the work of a Hindu engineer named Raosaheb Sitaram Khanderao Vaidya, assisted by one DN Mirza, a Parsi. Sitaram Khanderao had served a long apprenticeship under the great master-builder of Victorian Bombay, FW Stevens.
