Sacred Spaces and Sacred Monuments: The Mehtab Bagh Controversy The recent "shiva puja" performed at the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) protected Mehtab Bagh complex near the Taj Mahal has raised questions about the sanctity of sacred spaces and the integrity of protected monuments.
This incident is part of a larger pattern of controversy surrounding the reuse and reinterpretation of historical sites.
Mehtab Bagh, built during the Mughal era, serves as a tranquil oasis for visitors seeking to escape the crowds that throng the main monument.
