and water and has been used for centuries to protect monuments from weathering and erosion.
Polymer Resins
Polymer resins are synthetic materials that are used to reinforce and protect monuments. They are
applied as a liquid and harden to form a protective layer that can withstand weathering and erosion.
Consolidants

environmental factors that may cause damage.
HARYANA TOURISM
• To further prevent damage to monuments, the Archeological Department of India has installed protective measures such as
fencing and barriers around the monuments. Additionally, protective coatings are applied to the surfaces of the monuments
to prevent erosion and weathering.
• The Archeological Department of India has launched awareness campaigns to educate the public about the importance of
