Mausoleum Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal
India, Agra
The Taj Mahal is the hallmark of India, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. This complex impresses with its beauty and symmetry. Taj Mahal is the tomb of the beloved wife of the Indian king Shah Jahan and is both a mosque and a mausoleum with a huge dome and 4 minarets surrounded by a garden with a pool and fountains. In the interior design of the tombs, openwork lattices, bizarre ornaments, wall cladding with marble and their inlay with precious and semiprecious stones delight. This 17th century masterpiece The Mughal era combines elements of Islamic, Persian and Indian architectural traditions. It is noteworthy that the walls of the Taj Mahal appear in a different form when visiting the mausoleum at different times of the day: they are painted pink at dawn and silver on a moonlit night.

About forty years ago, a friend gave me a film slide (there was no digital technology then) with a view of the Taj Mahal mausoleum on a moonlit night, which she made on a tourist trip to India. I managed to visit there myself only today, they say that even now there are night excursions, but I could not find such an opportunity. However, from the daytime shots I took, with modern capabilities, you can create a night view. The precautions here are thorough: boys and girls go through security checks separately, shoe covers made of film are not allowed - you need to take here local ones made of soft non-woven material.
