The recent heavy rains causing a surge in the Yamuna river's water level have touched the walls of the Taj Mahal, submerging a garden, which is unseen for 45 years. But the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) reassured that other historical monuments had not suffered damage, attributed to the Taj Mahal's ingenious design that ensures water does not enter the main structure.
A senior ASI official said that the main mausoleum is standing on a raised platform. It is standing on the Chameli farsh, and in the foundation, it has 42 wells and a structure of sal woods over the wells.
A tourist who had come to visit the Taj Mahal from Delhi was attacked by a group of men in Agra after his car accidentally hit one of them.
