Taj Mahal could collapse - rotting foundations of India's most famous attraction in Agra
Campaigners have warned that the Taj Mahal could collapse within five years because wooden foundations are rotting.
The ancient mausoleum is India's most famous tourist attraction. It was built of marble 350 years ago by Mogul emperor Shah Jahan and attracts four million visitors to Agra ever year.
Cracks have now appeared in some parts of the tomb and four minarets around the structure are tilting.
