The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵)is to pen on moonlit evenings 20 years after security fears ended night visits．

　　India’s Supreme Court will allow the famous monument to love to open four nights a month, at the beginning for three months．

　　The Taj, built in the 1600s by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a shrine(神殿)for his wife, is a World Heritage site．

　　Only 400 visitors will be let in each night, and parking limitations will be strictly controlee around the marble mausoleum(陵墓)

　　The Supreme Court announcement came as state official in Uttar Pradesh were celebrating the Taj’s 350th anniversary close to its site in the city of Agra．

　　State tourism minister Kaukab Hamid described the ruling as “heartening．”

　　“This reopening of the Taj for moonlight viewing is going to draw fantastic crowds from across the globe ”he said．

　　“We will ensure strict security and follow visitor guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court”

　　Tourist chiefs said more than 300,000 foreigners visited the Taj Mahal site in 2003, but numbers are down since the terror attacks in the US on 11 September 2001．

　　Night visits to the Taj once a romantic highlight of any visit to India, were banned in 1984 for fear that militant(好战的)Sikhs battling the government would attack the shrine．

　　The Sikh insurgency(锡克教叛乱)ended in the mid－1990s, but Indian authorities have remained unwilling to let visitors back to the Taj after sunset

　　During the height of tensions between India and Pakistan in 2001 officials drew up plans to camouflage(伪装)the Taj to hide it from possible Pakistani air attacks．

　　Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as an expression of love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal．

　　Located on the banks of River Yamuna, the shrine is largely made of white marble that reflects the changes of colour visible during sunset and clear, moonlit nights．

　　It became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983 meaning the Indian Supreme Court must rule on major works or changes likely to influence the site．

　　The Garden Burgers located in Truman was recognized by the Garden Burgers head office in Kansas City, Missouri．The Truman location of Garden Burgers recorded the highest sales last year．It brought in over ＄ 1 ,500,000 for the entire year．But what is more important is that Truman only has a population of 40,000．The store directly behind the Truman store in terms of sales is located in a city of over 300,000．

　　Fred Laster and Jasper Watts bought into the Garden Burgers franchise(特许)only 3 years and a few months ago．They have used the combination of a good restaurant location and a series of promotional events to make Garden Burgers one of the most visited restaurants in Truman．However, they are quick to add that these are not the main reasons the store has done so well．"We found a franchise with a solid image and great franchise - wide marketing, " Watts said in a phone interview．

　　Laster and Watts expect this year to be just as productive as last year．After 4 months, they are on pace to exceed last year' s sales by more than ＄70,000．Each year the head office awards the owners of the store achieving the highest sales with a weekend stay at the best hotel in Kansas City and tickets to a Kansas City Chiefs football game．However, due to the extremely good sales performance of the store in Truman, the head office decided to change the tradition．Laster and Watts said their staff, which consists of only 5 university students, would be joining them in Kansas city as well．

　　Tom Justins, the president of Garden Burgers has also sent his congratulations and he hopes that all their stores can look at the example the store has set．
