Lifestyle Desk: The Taj Mahal is one of the seventh wonders of the world and is visited by millions of people from all over the world. However, there is no mystery surrounding this beautiful building. You will be surprised to know that no lamp has been installed in the Taj Mahal till date. Many people think that its beauty can be increased at night. So now let's find out what is the reason for not lighting the Taj Mahal at night!

The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh, which is a World Heritage Site. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1963. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaz. It took about 22 years to build. It is said that during the day, the Taj Mahal looks different colors at different times of sunlight.

White marble stone has been used in the construction of the Taj Mahal. But this white color reflects the light the most. But this time if lights are installed on the Taj Mahal, then the Taj Mahal will shine even more in that light. Due to which the insects will be attracted to the Taj Mahal and will harm the white marble by sitting on it.

Already the pollution around the Taj Mahal is causing more damage than before. So if lights are installed in Taj Mahal in such a situation then it will cause more damage. Also, archaeologists believe that the Taj Mahal was built with the idea that it would glow in the moonlight at night, so there was no need to install lamps.

But now if the Taj Mahal can be illuminated with artificial light, then its natural beauty will be diminished. This is why tourists come to see the natural beauty of the Taj Mahal during the full moon and they also appreciate this beauty. Therefore, if the Taj Mahal is illuminated with artificial light, this tourist attraction will decrease. This is also one of the reasons for not installing lamps in the Taj Mahal.

It is said that Mumtaz's soul still resides in the Taj Mahal. Many have also claimed that its presence is found at night. Once the Taj Mahal was lit at night, but for some reason all the lights went out. Perhaps for this reason, the Taj Mahal was never lit again, which remains a mystery to this day.
