Amid the controversy around Taj Mahal and its place in the Indian cultural heritage, all arrangements have been made for chief minister Yogi Adityanath's first visit to the 17th century monument after assuming office.

The Taj Mahal is without doubt India's biggest tourist attraction. A look at the number of visitors to top five centrally protected ticketed monuments 2013 - 2015 clearly shows that the Taj rules.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Taj Mahal today against the backdrop of various controversial statements made by some BJP leaders and ministers regarding the status of the 17th century monument in India's culture.
