According to several media reports, the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), in 2022 released images of two spots where maintenance work was undertaken in shut underground cells on Taj Mahal's riverside.
Taj Mahal Structure
Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Arjumand Bano Begum, who was known as Mumtaz Mahal. According to ASI's official website, her mortal remains were temporarily buried in the Zainabad garden; however, sis months later her body was transferred to Agra to finally lay her to rest in the crypt of the main tomb of Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is the mausoleum of both Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan.
"The main tomb of the Taj is basically square with chamfered corners. The minarets here are detached, facing the chamfered angles (corners) of the main tomb on the main plinth. Red sandstone mosque on the western, and Mehman-Khana on the eastern side of the tomb provides aesthetically a clear colour contrast," as per the ASI website.
Taj Mahal Tourism
Taj Mahal is widely popular with people coming from all corners of the world to visit the Mughal-era architecture structure that stands as the symbol of love.
It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being 'the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage'.
It stands as a symbol of Mughal architecture and India's rich history. As per the official website, Taj Mahal attracts around 7 to 8 million visitors a year.

Woman reviews Gordon Ramsay's burgers at his 1st restaurant in India: ‘Chicken is so undercooked I can hear it crying'
Gordon Ramsay's cooking prowess and his mouthwatering dishes have long excited the taste buds of foodies around the globe. For those living in India, getting a taste of his cooking often seemed like a far-fetched dream, as he had no restaurants in the country. That was, until last week. The influencer tried the GFC and Menagerie Trois burgers at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant. Recently, the celebrity chef launched his street burger joint, Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger, in Delhi, with its first outlet at Delhi Airport, Terminal 1. One curious traveller put the dishes at the restaurant to the test, sampling the GFC and Menagerie Trois burgers. The verdict? Let's find out. Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger in India In a post shared on August 17, a food and travel blogger, Kashish, who goes by @searching_for_umamii on Instagram, shared her review of the two dishes she ate at Gordon Ramsay's Street Burger. Sharing the video, Kashish wrote, 'We tried the Chef's Special GFC Burger, fried chicken + hash brown = carb on carb crime scene and the Ménage à Trois Burger (juicy patty, tangy pickled carrots, flavour bomb).' Does Ramsay's take on fast food live up to the hype? According to the influencer, the GFC burger had a big fried chicken patty stashed on a crispy hash brown. Though she did like it, the taste did not live up to her high expectations because of the lack of seasoning and undercooked chicken. 'Season it up a bit, Gordon. This chicken is so undercooked that I can still hear it crying,' she quipped. As for the Menagerie Trois burger, Kashish actually 'really liked' the taste. Giving her review, the influencer highlighted that the patty in the Menagerie Trois was juicy and flavourful, with a 'nice tangy aftertaste from the pickled onions and the smoked cheese'. 'I loved this blend of flavours,' she added. As for the vibe of the restaurant, she explained that the place looked like a proper American diner. 'Go catch a flight from T1 airport and try it out before it gets too difficult to get reservations here,' she said. Will you dare try Gordon Ramsay's street burgers next time you are catching a flight out of Delhi?

Delhiwale: A tree in Lodhi Garden
Delhi's Lodhi Garden is full of trees and monuments. One tree was itself like a monument. While it died a long time ago, it continued to stand, giving the park a haunting beauty. Park visitors would sit on the bench under it. Some weeks ago, the tree fell of its own accord. Days later, a spindly stalk was seen standing at the exact spot where the tree used to stand. It was probably hoped that the new plant might one day grow into a tree. Delhi's Lodhi Garden is full of trees and monuments. One tree was itself like a monument. While it had died a long time ago, it had continued to stand, giving the park a haunting beauty. (HT) That stalk, too, is gone. Now, the spot has absolutely no sign of its recent arborous past. It is a signal to shift our affection to another dead tree. This one is equally beautiful. It too is in Lodhi Garden. The tree is best seen from the vantage point of Athpula stone bridge, the only Akbar-era edifice in the city. The softly arched bridge spans over the park's duck pond. The westside parapet overlooks the larger length of the pond, whose both sides are lined with a dense collection of trees. And far in the distance stands the leafless tree. Its brown visage is severe, standing out starkly among the green verdure of the neighbouring trees. The tree is comprised of dozens of leafless branches standing upright. The branches look like twigs with sharp prickly ends poking upwards into the empty air. It is the fountains installed on the lake that greatly enrich the tree's imagery. This evening, the water of the fountains is buoying up in sprays of steamy droplets. Looming directly behind these fountains, the tree resembles an art installation in which an artist has tried to reinterpret the shape of the flow of those very water fountains. A search to identify the tree's precise location goes along a narrow path, which is flanked by bushes (which are filled with half-hidden romantic couples of all ages). As one wades deeper into the passage, the leafless tree gradually disappears from view, screened off by the thick foliage of the area's leafy trees. Finally, the bare tree is reached. It stands by the pond, facing the ramparts of Sikander Lodhi's tomb. A heart-shaped object is stuck on the trunk—must be a wild mushroom. This moment, the tree's austere branches are claimed by a single bird. It is motionless. The scene evokes a haiku by Japanese poet Bashō: 'On a withered branch a crow has come to rest autumn evening' Of course, here in Lodhi Garden, it is a monsoon evening.

A 100-yr-old house, 3,000 artefacts and timeless stories
Nagpur: Tucked inside the busy lanes of Sitabuldi, where the old mingles with the new, stands a century-old wada that holds a surprise within its walls. Popularly known as Vyas Wada in the locality, at first it appears to be an ordinary residence that soon reveals itself as Vyas Puratan Vastu Sangrahalaya, a private museum painstakingly curated by Dilip Vyas in a modest room. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With its 100-year-old structure and a 40-feet-deep functional well, the house instantly connects visitors to the architectural legacy of the family. Walking in, one feels being transported to another era, surrounded by artifacts that seem to narrate stories of the past. The first few objects made it to the wada in 1910. Over the years, Vyas expanded it into a collection of more than 3,000 artifacts, spanning colonial India, Parsi heritage, and royal memorabilia. Every shelf and corner is packed with objects like over 1,500 vintage watches, nearly 300 cameras — many dating back to the 1930s — and still working, 200 wine bottles, hundreds of British-era crockery pieces, 250 kettles, 250 jars, 150 trays, 300 ashtrays, 100 lanterns and many more. There are chillums, cigars, antique pencils, African wood carvings over 80 years old, Victorian-era artifacts, and miniature Parsi monuments. An English masala dabba (spice box), still functional, and century-old coffee makers further enrich the display, proving these are living, working reminders of craftsmanship. Vyas has also preserved a page from The Times of India's edition dated January 1, 1947. Rare documents like a Portuguese stamp from 1807, old newspapers from the 1980s and 1990s, and Indian envelopes and postcards have survived decades. The doors of his wada remain open only when he is personally available. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Under Vyas's watch, visitors are encouraged not just to look but to touch and feel the items, creating a rare, tactile connection with history. Among the most striking pieces in his collection is a typewriter, gifted to Vyas in 1975 by his friend Farukh Dastoor. "It still functions flawlessly," says Vyas adding, "Everything here tells a story, but one must understand it with care." Pointing towards a small figurine, Vyas explains a chilling yet fascinating piece of social history. "Women who were not allowed to speak of their pain would simply touch the part of the statue that reflected their ailment. It's a painful symbol of how voices were silenced then." Vyas credits much of his success to the constant support of his wife. Their children, inspired by this passion, have promised to safeguard the treasures. "These artifacts are not just objects; they are memories and lessons. I want the youth to understand the value of preserving history and to carry it forward," he says adding that not only the museum room but the home also embodies continuity, where the past and present coexist seamlessly. Vyas travels across India to attend royal auctions, most recent one in Pune. His dream now is to see his name and museum getting registered in the Limca Book of Records, a recognition he believes will underline the uniqueness of his efforts.
