AGRA – As heavy rain and high winds hit Agra, a stone minaret at the entry gate of the Taj Mahal, the world-famous monument built by Mughal ruler Shah Jahan in India, collapsed on Wednesday evening.

The 12-feet pillar with a metal finial located at the entry gate named Darwaza-e-Rauza, the main gateway, crashed past midnight after wind speed during the storm crossed 100 km per hour, Indian media reported.

As the pillar fell, the minaret and dome on it broke into several pieces, defacing outlook of the monument. No one injured in the accident.

The Taj Mahal was built by Mogul emperor Shah Jahan, who was grief-stricken by the death of his wife Mumtaz Mahal in childbirth.

With his romantic image, it attracts people across the globe, including film stars, royals and politicians, as thousands of people visit the site daily.

The centuries old mausoleum is India’s most famous tourist attraction, but air pollution is turning the Taj Mahal’s marble facade yellow, leading to parts of the monument being obscured by scaffolding.

A legal war between the Archeological Society of India (ASI) and Waqf board is underway regarding the ownership of the Taj Mahal.

They have waging a war against Taj Mahal for quite a while. I would not be surprised if this was an attempt by the RSS to harm the architecture.

Yup people are right about the rss thing, I was there yesterday. Modi came there and instructed amit Shah to blow big fans outside agra, to power the fans, a nuclear reactor was secretly set up around 5 days back. Modi himself did it. Hang him.

some hindutwas do hate taj mehel from the core of their heart, but lets not generalize all hindu indians. declare taj mehel as vishnu temple called teju mahala.

we should not hate all indians because of extremist hindu brahmin brainwashed idiots, even al beruni speaks about their foolishness just read al beruni observation on brahmin, these brahmins took indian backward, into dark ages. its not expected to change their physic even in this modern era.

You know, if someone hates TajmHal most, they are mullahs. They consider it anti Islamic as it is a structure on a kabra. They have a plan to bomb and destroy it if they have any plan.

RSS created time machine,went back to 17th century,and supplied low quality material to Shah Jahan to contruct Taj Mahal and then came back to the present
