Taj Mahal dazzles as river Yamuna continues in spate in Agra

AGRA: With the Yamuna still continuing to remain in spate in Agra, the rear view of the Taj Mahal stands transformed as the river is full of life-sustaining water, following incessant rains, providing a magnificent view from the Mehtab Bagh. From a "sickly sewage canal" the Yamuna river stands as a vibrant and attractive water body which is said to be the lifeline of the city. Heaps of garbage that had accumulated along the banks have now been swept away. "The banks are now cleaner and greener thanks to the monsoon rains. The chirping birds are back and people stop by for a while to enjoy the spectacle of the Yamuna in its pristine glory," said Nandan Shrotriya, a temple priest of the Yamuna Kinara road. (IANS)
