AGRA, India – A river that runs through the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has risen to lap the compound walls of the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra city, causing concern about damage to the 17th-century white marble monument.
Local media outlets reported that the last time the river reached the walls of the monument, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his queen Mumtaz Mahal, was 45 years ago, in 1978. Officials from the Archaeological Survey of India , which oversees the Taj Mahal along with several other monuments in the country, said there was “no serious concern” about the monument at present.
