According to RIA Novosti, on the first day of work it was visited by almost 2.5 thousand people.

Vasant Kumar Svarnkar, superintendent of the Agra archaeological department, said that before the coronavirus, the average number of visitors to the Taj Mahal was 40 thousand people a day, and at its peak - 170 thousand people a day.

Currently, due to restrictions associated with the spread of coronavirus, the Taj Mahal can be visited by no more than five thousand people per day.

In July, it was reported that the government of the Indian city of Agra had decided to cancel the opening of the Taj Mahal and other city monuments due to an increase in the number of cases of coronavirus infection in the country.
