Taj Mahal Threatened by Monsoon Floods in India
TL;DR Summary
The Yamuna river in India has risen to the outer walls of the Taj Mahal and submerged nearby gardens due to heavy monsoon rains. The flooding comes as severe floods have killed at least 100 people in northern India, causing destruction and landslides. While the red sandstone walls of the Taj Mahal are surrounded by muddy water, the monument itself remains untouched. Some low-lying houses near the monument have been flooded, leading officials to relocate residents to safer areas.
