What would RachTR do if Taj Mahal had to be restored? Find out here.

Millions of people explore the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal, every year. This global wonder has stood tall and beautiful for centuries, capturing the attention of visitors from all over the world. The Taj Mahal is believed to be a forever honour to Mumtaz, the beloved wife of the emperor Shah Jahaan. It’s built with the pristine white marble ‘Makrana’. However, the strong and sturdy marble has limitations too. It gets old and worn out with time just like everything else does. Several factors like heavy footfall, moisture exposure, pollution and climatic extremities have played significant role in deteriorating the quality of Makrana.

The Taj Mahal’s grace had started to dwindle nearly three decades ago. Yellowing surfaces, weakened joints, micro-cracks, and loss of shine had begun to be quite visible and needed immediate action. This resulted in the country’s one of the most focused restoration journeys. A professional team for reviving the elegance of Taj Mahal worked for hours every day. It devoted itself to thoroughly brushing the outer surface of the marble, and reviving the detailed stone work. Finally, the Eureka moment arrived, “The unique appeal of the Taj Mahal got its glory back.”

However, restoration is not a one-time-effort. It needs to be followed periodically to preserve the timeless symbols of the bygone eras. This is where modern surface-care innovations like RachTR can make a meaningful difference in preserving marble heritage, not just today but for generations to come.

RachTR’s specialised product line can be potentially considered for the challenges heritage marble faces:

• Marble Sealers can protect the stone from pollution, grime, and moisture absorption—crucial for monuments exposed to millions of visitors and an open environment. RachTR Top Seal, for instance, forms a protective layer on the marble surface, guarding it from ‘the nasties’.

• Densifiers can strengthen weakened or aged stone, helping restore the Taj’s original solidity and shine. Stone Power makes the surface more dense and less porous, reducing its ability to absorb the impurities.

• Crack-Fillers can repair micro-fractures and deteriorated joints without disturbing the authenticity of the marble patterns. And nothing does it better than RachTR Top Fill.

• Adhesives can ensure long-lasting bonding for loose tiles or inlay pieces that need precise, stable reinforcement. The brand offers a wide array of natural stone adhesives including RachTR TSA PR.

• Joint Fillers like RachTR PULU G can ensure zero yellowing for years to come, and result in well-bonded, seamless-looking joints.

As India continues to safeguard its marble wonders through public–private collaboration, RachTR stands ready to support such monumental restoration journeys. Because when we preserve marble, we preserve history, its stories, its craftsmanship, and its soul.
