There was once a kind of bazaar
called "Taj
Ganj" located right outside the Taj's main entry gate |
 |
Visitors enter the Taj complex
through a
massive red sandstone gate faced with white marble |
 |
The Taj's mosque has a lovely
white marble
mihrab |
 |
Some early engravings |
 |
Some early photos |
 |
Classic views, in modern visitors'
photos |
 |
The calligraphy and inlay work
that ornament
the Taj's white marble walls |
 |
An unforgettably beautiful marble
latticework
screen surrounds the two tombs themselves |
 |
The view said to have been Shah
Jahan's,
during the years he was imprisoned in the Agra Fort across the river |
 |
Needless to say, the Taj is ideal
material
for posters and other media |
 |
Qawwali performers at the Taj |
