Overview

• Thermal scans by the Archaeological Survey of India revealed a water seepage point at 73 meters in the main dome
• A Light Detection and Ranging investigation identified deteriorated mortar, weakened roof elements, and rusted iron rod supports
• Conservation teams have installed scaffolding around the dome to facilitate thorough inspections of the affected areas
• ASI officials anticipate the inspection phase will last about 15 days before mobilizing restoration crews
• Once work begins, repairs are projected to span approximately six months due to the dome’s height and structural complexity
