“It’s tough to describe this mausoleum’s beauty as words simply cannot do it justice. This mesmerising intricacy and attention to detail is a testament to love and architectural excellence. This awe inspiring monument is truly a timeless masterpiece,” the Maldives President wrote in the visitors’ book.

He stayed at the 17th century marvel for an hour and was curious to know about historical and architectural aspects of the epic structure.

A 60-member delegation comprising defence and tourism ministers of Maldives accompanied the President who got his photograph clicked with the main mausoleum in the background while being seated at Diana seat on the Taj premises.

The Taj Mahal was closed from 8 am onwards on Tuesday in view of the VVIP visit and a notification to this effect was issued in advance on Monday by Raj Kumar Patel, the superintending archaeologist for Agra circle of ASI who accompanied the visitors.

Ticket booking for general public was stopped at 7am at Taj Mahal east and west gates and resumed at 10 am after the guests returned.
