Taj Mahal, the world famous white-marbled monument of love, is fast losing its sheen due to tiny dirt particles deposits on the surface of the marble.Indian officials say a deep-cleansing mud pack may be the only way to return a yellowing Taj Mahal to the cultural landmark's former white marble glory.Link
Pollution particles have collected on the 17th Century marble mausoleum, built by Mughal emperor Shahjahan for his wife [Mumtaz Mahal].
A report put before India's parliament recommends caking the building in clay to draw out surface impurities.
The process is not cheap - restoration will cost $230,000 (£116,000).
