(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Tourists are once again allowed to visit the Taj Mahal on weekends.

India's most iconic monument re-opened on Sunday, after a weekend curfew to curb coronavirus cases was lifted.

Markets and other businesses were also allowed to open on weekends near the famous site.

Many shopkeepers are relieved, hoping the visitors will bring some badly needed revenue.
