The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has decided to ban carrying water bottles into the main mausoleum of the Taj Mahal. This decision is aimed at preventing further incidents related to jalabhishek, a holy water ritual that certain people have repeatedly performed, as per reports.

According to the new rule, visitors and guides cannot bring water bottles from the Chameli Farsh area of the Taj Mahal up to the main dome. This move comes in response to recent controversies surrounding the monument.
