Donald Trump's daughter visits Taj Mahal

Although the Taj Mahal remained open to the public, as special restrictions are imposed only during visits by serving heads of state, the route taken by Tiffany Trump was cordoned off and she was escorted by police throughout her visit. She entered the monument at around 11.50am and stayed there for nearly 40 minutes.

Ramesh Diwan, the guide who accompanied the couple, said Tiffany Trump showed keen interest in the marble used in the monument and its place of origin. “She sought information about the marble and was particularly interested in the intricate inlay work and the stones used in the mosaic designs,” he said.

The couple posed for photographs at the platform near the main entrance, the Diana Bench and near the fountains. According to Diwan, they described the visit as “a remarkable tour”.
