Two days of continuous rainfall have caused significant damage to several historic monuments in Agra, including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri.
Heavy rain causes damage to monuments in Agra city, including the Taj Mahal

The iconic Taj Mahal experienced leakage in the main dome over the tomb of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz due to persistent rain.

Similarly, Agra Fort's Khas Mahal developed dampness in its wooden sleepers, raising concerns about the preservation of these heritage sites.

Notably, both structures feature double domes, which typically offer enhanced protection from weather elements.

A team from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), including Superintendent Archaeologist Rajkumar Patel, Senior Conservation Assistant Prince Vajpayee, and engineers, inspected the affected areas.
