Prostitutes in Muzaffarpur are moving from one street to another with banners, placards and posters requesting people to vote for the Taj Mahal.

"We are doing it in our own small way to promote the 17th century monument of love," said Shahnaj Bano, a sex worker participating in the campaign.

For last three days, these women are walking through the narrow lanes, markets and residential areas of the town spreading awareness about the campaign.

"Our message is clear-vote for Taj Mahal, a symbol of love, peace and harmony," said sex worker Kanchan Devi.

The new list of "seven wonders of the world" will be released in Portugal on July 7. The marble mausoleum has already made it to the top ten monuments of the world.

The Taj Mahal was constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Agra in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

The construction of the monument was started in 1632 and finished in 1648. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
