The Taj Mahal is ‘seven wonders of the world,’ pull towards lakhs of tourists each year, but it has failed to feature in Uttar Pradesh’s latest tourism booklet.

Titled Apaar Sambhavnaye or ‘Boundless Possibilities’, the brochure, released by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department demonstrates most of the other cultural and heritage sites in the State, mainly those associated with the Hindu religious tourism.

The brochure gets to talk of the town, especially as it comes a few months after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had said the Taj Mahal did not represent Indian culture, but the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita did, set off criticism.

However, Tourism Minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi said the State was “committed” to emergent the “world famous” Taj Mahal and tourist spots related to it.

“The development of Taj Mahal and Agra is among the main priorities of the Central and State governments,” she said.

Agra was being developed as a Smart City, she said, adding that efforts were on to start a Metro rail there.

The brochure has a picture of the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi on its cover mark Mr. Adityanath and Ms. Joshi, while its inside pages cover most of the cultural and religious sites of tourism and circuits like the Ramayana, Budhha, Krishna, Bundelkhand, Vindhya, and Awadh.

The brochure gives the details about the religious and cultural significance of Varanasi and its ghats, the coming Ardh Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, while prop up Ayodhya as the birthplace of Lord Ram and Mathura-Vrindavan for its connection with Lord Krishna.
