The Taj Sunset

← Agra

The Moonlight Garden across the Yamuna: the Taj mirrored in sunset gold.

Babur's Moonlight Garden across the Yamuna, the best view of the Taj outside the Taj: the mausoleum mirrored in the river, no crowds, the marble burning gold at sunset. Legend says Shah Jahan planned his own black Taj here. Hire a rickshaw for the evening: garden, sunset, and a ride back past the lit gates.
