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. Video filming is allowed from the entrance to the site, from this year it is paid - 25 rupees, as in most other attractions in India. Inside the mausoleum, neither filming nor photographing is allowed.
There is evidence that in the near future visitors will not be allowed inside at all, since changes have been noticed in the foundation of the building from the effects of water seeping from the Jumna River.
Agra was the capital of the Mughal Empire. The white marble mausoleum inlaid with an ornament of agate, opal, jasper, malachite (including Russian origin), obsidian and mother-of-pearl was built presumably in 1632-1653 by order of Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his beloved wife Mumtaz, just admire the creation, ranked to the Wonders of the World, he had to from afar - from the balcony of the Red Fort, where he was imprisoned at the end of his life by his own son. Later, Shah Jahan himself was buried there.
