The notoriously inflexible Archaeological Survery of India (ASI) has lodged a police complaint against the 21-year-old 2012 Miss Universe and the agency behind her visit after she appeared to model a pair of high-heeled shoes while photographers shot her with the iconic monument to love in the background. The incident took place at the marble bench popularly known as the Diana Seat, named after the now famous picture taken of a forlorn looking Princess Diana on a trip to the Taj in 1992 - which was seen to highlight the sad state of her marriage to Prince Charles.

According to the Supreme Court of India, any branding or publicity in or around the Taj Mahal is prohibited under law and the ASI's complaint alleges Culpo and her handlers fell foul of this. 'Sandals (high heels) of a particular brand were taken out of the bag by someone in the group,' says the ASI according to the Hindustan Times of India. Culpo donned one of the sandals and held another in her hand, reportedly to advertise them while cameramen accompanying her shot the scene with the Taj in the background.

Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal and completed in 1653, the Taj Mahal visit was going well until Culpo reached the marble plinth at the top of the Central Pond that leads to the entrance. Monument To Lost Love: The Taj Mahal Known as India's most recognizable building, the white marble mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his wife Mumtaz after her death The construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632 and was completed in 1653. It took a total of twenty two years to complete the construction of this monument The Taj Mahal was Shah Jahan's imagination of Mumtaz's home in paradise and 20,000 people worked day and night for twenty two years to complete construction of the Taj Mahal A popular myth is that Shah Jahan cut off the hands of all the workers so that such a structure could not be built again It is alleged that her team produced shoes which she started trying on as photographers snapped away and there was no objection from police on duty. 'We have taken note of the incident and are appraising the superintending archaeologist in writing,' said Munazzar Ali, conservation archaeologist (CA) for the ASI office at the Taj. Indeed, there are guidelines prohibiting branding and publicity on the Taj premises but facts related to the incident are yet to be verified.

Earlier in her trip, Culpo also visited the notorious Tihar jail in the capital New Delhi. While visiting the jail took a pledge from the inmates against violence against the women.
