Floodwater submerges Taj Mahal garden after 45 years

Severe floods are currently ravaging northern India, causing havoc in the region. Regrettably, floodwaters have also reached the outer walls of the Taj Mahal, inundating the garden behind the 17th-century white marble mausoleum. This is the first time such flooding, originating from the adjacent Yamuna River, has occurred in 45 years, with the previous one happening in 1978.
