The Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. However over the Years, the Taj Mahal is turning yellow. It is our duty to protect this priceless monument.
The government has banned vehicular traffic within two kilometers of the monument. How do you think this step will protect the Taj Mahal?
Answers
Answer:
We want people to pay more to limit the footfall,” a government spokesperson told Agence France-Presse. “This will cut down the number of visitors to the mausoleum by at least 15-20% and generate revenue for its conservation."
So the plan is to save this Indian icon by keeping Indians out. Wouldn't it be fairer to further lower the admission cap for all guests—Indian and not—to at least spread the disappointment around a little?
Taj Mahal admission for foreigners, by the way, is 1,300 rupees (US$19).
On the other side of the Yamuna, a just-completed four-year project led by the World Monuments Fund and the Archaeological Survey of India has restored two of those previously mentioned riverfront gardens—Mehtab Bagh and the Garden of the Tomb of I’timad-ud-Daulah.
Their pavilions and walls have been spruced up, and hibiscus, jasmine, and other green things have been replanted in the same four-square Char Bagh layout favored by 16th- and 17th-century nobles.
A clean, eco-friendly irrigation system was devised, and a new visitor center with interactive multimedia exhibits was installed at I'timad-ud-Daulah.
Trees and shrubs on the grounds still have some growing to do, but visitors can now get a feel for gracious Mughal living, circa 1600.
Admission at Mehtab Bagh is 25 rupees for Indian citizens, 300 rupees (US$4.23) for foreigners. I'timad-ud-Daulah is 30 rupees for Indian citizens, 310 rupees (US$4.37) for foreigners.
Both gardens as well as the Taj Mahal are free for all children 15 years old and younger.
