HOW TO CLICK PHOTOGRAPHS DURING NIGHT VIEWING
The night viewing is one of the most breath taking, life time experience. The Taj is not lit up by artificial lights. It is the moonlight that lit up the entire structure. The time duration per batch is only 30 minutes, so normal photography will not be possible. In order to capture the moment, first change your camera or mobile to night vision mode.

Tourists who want to visit the graves and architecture inside the tomb would have to pay RS.200 more. The decision comes after Union culture minister Mahesh Sharma’s visit to Agra on Sunday night.

To preserve the Taj Mahal for the generations to come, the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) that conducted a study on the Taj’s load-bearing capacity. The study recommended that the number of footfall must be reduced as an immediate step to protect its integrity.

Although, this year the government restricted the number of tourists visiting per day but it was not a viable option. The hike in prices is not to generate revenue, but to ensure that only people who are genuinely interested enter the area.

A group of preservationists warned in 2011 that the monument was in danger of collapsing within five years. It said the ivory-white marble building began to show cracks in 2010 and its wooden foundation was eroding.

Smog has been slowly yellowing the Taj’s brilliant marble and conservationists have long fought to close polluting industries near the monument. Interventions, including using mudpacks to draw remove the stains; have failed to arrest the slow decay of India’s biggest tourist attraction.
