This was how the Taj Mahal was protected from bomber jets in
1942 during world war.
It was covered with huge scaffold, to make it look like a stockpile of bamboo
and misguide bombers.
I think the covering is still incomplete in this photo. It seems the whole of
Taj Mahal was covered but this picture shows only the main dome covered. Maybe
the govt didnt allow any photographers later to shoot the final scaffold cover.
During the India-Pakistan war in 1971, it was
protected by covering it with a green cloth and making it almost invisible i.e
camouflaged within the greenery around it.
Even in 2001, after the Sep 11 attack, Archaeological
Survey of India took up the precautionary measure to cover it with cloth and it
took them more than 20 days to do that ... Incredible right...!!!
