Why is there darkness at night? (Taj Mahal Unknown Facts)

In any tourist place, tourists get a chance to visit and explore only according to a limited time period. Similarly, Taj Mahal is opened for tourists at 6:00 in the morning and its doors are closed at 6:30 in the evening. The place is evacuated. There is a ban on entry here after 6:30 pm. In such a situation, you might have heard or seen that the Taj Mahal is kept dark at night. The light is not lit. Has this question ever arisen in your mind as to why this is done?

The reason will surprise you

According to media reports, lights are not lit in Taj Mahal because there are a large number of insects here, which get attracted towards light very quickly. In such a situation, if lights are lit inside the Taj Mahal, then these insects come here and create dirt, which can spoil the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Additionally, stain marks can ruin the tiles. That's why lights are not switched on here.

There is a ban on lighting the lights

The Archaeological Survey of India had also released a report on this. According to which, insects cause damage to the Taj Mahal and their marks are left on the marble. Due to which, after 1997, keeping in mind the safety and cleanliness of Taj Mahal, the state and central governments have banned lighting the Taj Mahal at night. This is a big reason why lights are not switched on here. However, many people believe that there are many other reasons behind this, but the fact remains that lights are not switched on here because of insects.
