What is the secret of Taj Mahal's beauty?

The Archaeological Survey of India utilized mud therapy to effectively clean the ground, dust, soil, and pollution on the marble of the Taj Mahal, showcasing its global beauty.

Mud pack therapy has been performed 10 times at a cost of Rs 17410242 crore, but its effectiveness for Taj Mahal's beauty remains uncertain.

KC Jain requested an RTI from the archaeology department, revealing that the science division of ASI is responsible for the mud pack project.

From 2007-08 to 2022-23, the Taj Mahal faces pollution issues, prompting therapy to clean accumulated carbon and elements on its walls.

The Archaeological Survey of India reports that clay is dissolved in distilled water and a paste is prepared, which is then kept for a period to ensure its quality.

The solution, mixed with organic compounds, is applied to the marble's surface using a brush, followed by placing a polythene seat over the area.

The marble undergoes a process of absorbing harmful acetic deposits, drying, releasing clay, cleaning remaining clay with a brush, and finally washing with distilled water.

Mud therapy is utilized to treat the Goldy Chironomus worm that damages the Taj Mahal's back wall due to the Yamuna's dirt and silt.

However, Senior advocate KC Jain argues that repeatedly using a clay pack on the Taj Mahal's walls is not appropriate.
