The Supreme Court has expressed concern over the change of colour of the iconic Taj Mahal at Agra and said the monument had become yellowish earlier and was now turning brownish and greenish.

A bench comprising Justices M B Lokur and Deepak Gupta suggested that the Centre take the assistance of experts from India and abroad to first assess the damage and then take steps to restore the historic monument.

The apex court perused the photographs placed before it by the petitioner and asked Additional Solicitor General A N S Nadkarni, who was representing the government, as to why the colour of Taj Mahal has changed.

The apex court fixed the matter for further hearing on May 9.

The top court has been monitoring developments in the area to protect the historic monument, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal in 1631.

The mausoleum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
