Miss Universe Olivia Culpo in trouble over Taj Mahal photo shoot
Indian police said on Thursday they had filed a case against
Miss Universe for conducting an unauthorised footwear fashion shoot at the Taj
Mahal which was described as an "insult" by the monument's caretaker.
Twenty-one-year-old American Olivia Culpo, wearing a long peach-coloured dress,
visited the world-famous "monument to love" in Agra on Sunday during
a 10-day tour of India. Culpo posed for photographers with branded shoes while
sitting on the Diana Seat, a marble ledge in front of the white mausoleum named
after the late British princess who visited in 1992.
There are strict guidelines
against any sort of branding and promotion at Taj Mahal and the photo shoot
conducted was without any prior permission," said NK Pathak from the Agra
unit of Archaeological Survey of India. A case has also been registered against
Indian-born fashion designer Sanjana Jon who accompanied Miss Universe to the
site. Registering a case is a preliminary step and the issue may not
necessarily go to court.
