Authorities have 'advanced the dates' of a mud-pack treatment for the royal graves ahead of the president's two-day visit to India.
The graves in question belong to Shah Jahan, a 17th-century Mughal emperor, and his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, for whom he built the monument as an act of love. The graves receiving the treatment are replicas—the originals lie in the basement of the main mausoleum and are rarely open to visitors, even dignitaries.
It has been reported that Trump is unlikely to visit the actual graves of the Shah and his wife due to his height. An advanced security team has said they do not want the president to bow down to pass through the five-foot doorway, reportsAuthorities have made elaborate security arrangements in the city ahead of President Donald Trump and his family's visit to the iconic Taj Mahal.
As well as the graves, authorities have prepared for the visit by cleaning the red sandstone platform at the royal gate, rinsing the mausoleum's brass chandelier with tamarind water and planting flowers. To remove the"foul smell" from the Yamuna river in time for Trump's arrival, 17 million liters of water have been released to flush away the pollutants causing the stink,Trump is expected to arrive at the Taj Mahal around 5.15 p.m local time on Monday by convoy.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site is being specially spruced up for the occasion and authorities have even deployed five langurs in addition to over 120 security personal to tackle local monkeys who often prove to be a nuisance for visitors., air pollution has caused the white marble UNESCO World Heritage site to turn brown.
The pollution residue can only be removed with clay , suggesting it comes from water-insoluble particles in the air. Vehicle emissions and the burning of biomass are thought to be the source of the pollution.
