Four days after the Muslims offered 'namaz' (prayer) at the mosque inside the Taj Mahal premises in Agra, about 350 kilometres from here, ignoring objections from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), some women activists of a saffron outfit on Saturday allegedly forced their way into the monument of love and performed 'arti' (a ritual with fire) there triggering a fresh controversy.

four women workers of Bajarang Dal forced their way into the Taj Mahal premises and offered 'puja' there. ''The women also carried bottles filled with Ganga waters with which they cleaned the place,'' said an official in Agra. ''We have every right to offer puja here (Taj Mahal)....for us it is a temple...the authorities failed to prevent namaz by the Muslims....the monument is getting dirty owing to namaz by so many people,'' local Bajarang Dal women wing president Meena Diwakar said.

Following controversy over namaz, ASI to increase security at mosque in Taj Mahal

The Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) office in Agra has increased vigil to prevent the local residents from offering namaz at the Taj Mahal on World Heritage Day, which will be celebrated on Monday (November 19) with free entry to all historical monuments of the city.

The decision has been taken in view of the outbursts by Muslim groups against the organisation's recent move to ban namaz at the mosque on Taj Mahal premises on Fridays.

We entered the Taj Mahal with dhoop batti, Gangajal and match box and performed aarti at the mosque on the premises. We purified the location as it is our Shiv Temple, sanctity of which was damaged by namaz”: BJD dist prez
