The Taj Mahal has become one of the only three UNESCO Heritage Sites to have a breastfeeding room for women. In a country like India, breastfeeding has a lot of social stigma attached to it. It is often seen as disgusting or even embarrassing.
This initiative aims at removing the social stigma regarding breastfeeding and helping new mothers to get the freedom to breastfeed in public without being forced to cover-up. The main objective continues to be normalizing public breastfeeding.
