KEEPING GREEN THE SETTING OF THE CROWN LADY S TOMB 



The beauty of the Taj Mahal is unchanging, but the emerald setting is continually being

 have to be removed. The "dream in marble" also gains much of its charm from the opal- 

 escent tints which touch the murky waters of the Jumna at sunset time.
