Indie will cover the famous Taj Mahal with mud to remove pollution

Delhi - The Taj Mahal, a modern wonder of the world, will be wrapped in mud for the fourth time in its existence. This procedure is expected to restore the shine to the white marble structure and remove yellowed stains. This is reported by the BBC website. Near the famous mausoleum is the industrial city of Agra and an oil refinery, which contributes to the high level of pollution. The Taj Mahal last underwent a treatment procedure in 2008.
    The procedure is reportedly based on the traditional method used by Indian women to maintain a natural glow on their faces. The mud wrap is supposed to absorb small impurities. According to representatives of the government agency, the affected areas of the structure will be coated with a two-millimeter layer of clay, which will be left to dry overnight. The remaining clay is then removed with soft nylon brushes and washed off with distilled water.
    The Taj Mahal was commissioned by the Indian emperor Shah Jahan in 1648 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal after her death during the birth of their fourteenth child. The construction took 22 years and involved about 20,000 workers. The mausoleum, whose color changes with the position of the sun, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, it was voted by internet users as one of the modern wonders of the world.
