The recent surge in the Yamuna River's water level due to heavy rains has led to a devastating impact on Agra's iconic Taj Mahal
The rising Yamuna River waters touched the walls of the Taj Mahal, submerging a garden located behind the majestic monument for the first time in 45 years
The last time the Yamuna approached the back wall of the Taj Mahal was during the floods of 1978
Visuals from the Taj Mahal showed the Dussehra Ghat located near the Taj Mahal boundary has been flooded
Officials set up barricades on the river ghats from Kailash Temple in Sikandra till the Dusshera Ghat near the Taj Mahal to avoid floods
