Visit to Taj Mahal can only last three hours

agra - One of the most important tourist attractions in India, the Taj Mahal, is going to limit the visit time to the enormous crowds. Visitors are not allowed to spend more than three hours in the huge white marble mausoleum in the future.

On weekend days at least 50,000 people will visit the Taj Mahal, which is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site. 'Some people spend the day in the Taj,' said a spokesperson for the Indian archaeological service against CNN. With a limited visit duration, the service hopes to better regulate the mass.

The Taj Mahal was built in the seventeenth century by the Mogul ruler Shah Jahan for his third wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in childbirth. Nowadays seven million people come to the monument every year.
