As a result of this plan, around industries switched over to the use of natural gas or LPG instead of coal or oil. Also, dust from the sweaty palms of these tourists gets incorporated onto the walls. Another reason is the increase in humidity level inside the building due to large crowd every single day in Taj Mahal.
This leads to gradual discolouring of the walls. Trees have been cut in and around Agra in the name of development. The temperature in Agra remains very high during the summers and sometimes even reaches 50 degrees Celcius. Without the natural obstruction of trees, hot dusty winds, due to their highly abrasive effects, damages the surface of the white marble. Also, there are many wood-burning crematoriums near the Taj Mahal. Supreme Court of India has ordered the concerned authorities to either move these crematoriums or replace them with the electric powered one to reduce pollution to the monument.
The state government agreed, but due to the agitation and protests from the local people, the crematorium still has not been moved. There are many historical monuments outside India that have been maintained pretty well. We can take help from the experts outside India for maintaining Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal is supposed to be a buffer zone. However, Taj Mahal being a major tourist destination, there are numerous hotels and residential areas built around it. In this, a layer of fullers earth mixed with water is applied on the surface of the walls and left for 24 hours or more to dry.
Once it dries, the surface is washed and mud is removed with distilled water to remove impurities present on the surface of the white marble. Obviously planting more trees reduces pollution and protects Taj Mahal from hot dusty winds that cause damage to the surface of the white stone. Cleaning the river Yamuna has a direct impact on the condition of Taj Mahal. By relocating some of the factories, toxic waste going into the river can be reduced.
