No Chemical used for Cleaning of Taj Mahal

This major problem was created by the insect called Goeldi Chironomus which has its root in fifty and stagnant water. For a couple of years on account of the pollutants in the water of Yamuna River, the nourishment was given to the development of particular algae and this unusual growth of algae provided a setting environs to the Goeldi Chironomus.

Thus the white marble of Taj Mahal appealed the swarms of insects from the side of the river Yamuna as these insects were allured by the white color. They like to stick on the walls, minarets and other exteriors of the mausoleum. This insect left his stamps on even such places where the exposure of the light is less. Book Maharaja Express
