Taj Mahal’s beauty to be restored
Rushda:
May 16th, 2007
The Taj Mahal has been considered by many to be the most beautiful building in the world. Representing love it has been nominated for one of the seven wonders of the world. Sadly, however, the beauty of it has been fading over the years as it is continuously being tarnished by the air pollution of India’s busy city of Agra, which is gradually turning the impeccable white marble slightly yellow. It has been decided, therefore, to give the Taj Mahal a traditional beauty treatment. The process, costing about £115,000 in total and taking a few months to complete, involves the use of a natural mud pack which will be used to remove deposits from the building. The whole of the Taj will be covered with this traditional mud from and then washed off to reveal its new sparkly white skin once more. I’m guessing the mud-covering feat will become a tourist attraction in itself!
