Oprah visits the Taj

Agra, Jan 19 (IANS) US talk show queen Oprah Winfrey visited the Taj Mahal Thursday, spending more than an hour while her camera crew captured the 17th century marble marvel from various angles for her new talk show.
She was followed by scores of journalists and camera persons, which made her security a daunting task for her bouncers.
At Vrindavan, she made an unscheduled stop at the Ma Dham widows’ home. This caused quite a ruckus between her security personnel and local TV journalists, who wanted to follow her inside the home.
The police managed to work out compromise between the two sides.
It was later learnt that the local authorities had sent a report to the state home department saying that such visits without prior information could cause problems.
