There was a time in history when the Taj Mahal was converted to ruins due to lack of repair and proper maintenance. The gardens of the Taj Mahal were converted into forests and bushes here at night, people were afraid to go even during the day. The Taj Mahal had become a refuge for robbers and revolutionaries. Again the then Vicerai Lord Karjan renovated the Taj Mahal in 1902 and gave the Taj Mahal a present form.
