The number of Zika virus cases has been discussed in Rajasthan, India where palaces and forts draw large numbers of tourists each year.
The Press Trust of India news agency reports eight new cases were reported from the capital state of Jaipur on Saturday.
The agency says that the new cases come as a result of Zika in their first trimester.
Zika symptoms include fever, rashes and joint pain, and the disease has been linked to birth deformities in some cases.
The World Health Organization says that the first case in India was reported from Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat in January 2017.
WHO says Zika has been reported in 86 countries.
