After a stampede and near aversion of a tragedy at one of the most iconic monuments in India and the world, the Taj Mahal (on December 28), the Archaeological Survey of India has announced a cap on the number of visitors allowed each day to 40000.<\/p>\n

The Taj Mahal, which is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World<\/strong> every year attracts an average of 8 million people. This monument which was built in the memory of the late wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan was built in 1648.<\/strong> Ever since then, the magnificent white marble structure has garnered immense limelight for its grandeur and architecture.<\/p>\n

On any regular day, the Taj on an average receives around 22000 visitors but this number can drastically cross <\/strong>40000 on a busy day (just like 28th December). And so to protect the crowd and prevent any further mishap, the\u00a0Archaeological\u00a0Survey of India<\/b> has announced the cap. However, if you find yourself to be the 40001st visitor<\/strong> on a busy day, the authorities won\u2019t stop you from visiting the monument as long as you pay for a foreigner entry ticket<\/strong> (costs 16 dollars or 1000 rupees) and not the regular one (costs 60 cents or 40 rupees). Moreover, this cap also doesn\u2019t affect the foreign tourists.<\/p>\n

Keeping public safety in mind,<\/strong> this is a welcome step to ensure crowd control on busy days and also ensure the well being of the monument<\/strong> which was in danger of collapsing due to overweight and eroding wooden foundations – as stated by a group of preservationists in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
