Mehtab Bagh, los jardines de la Luz de la Luna, es un jardín de estilo persa situado al norte del Taj Mahal y el Fuerte de Agra, en el lado opuesto del río Yamuna. El jardín tiene forma cuadrada y está perfectamente alineado con el Taj Mahal en la orilla opuesta. En época de lluvias el terreno del jardín se suele inundar parcialmente y cuando el río lleva mucha agua se pueden conseguir buenas fotos del Taj Mahal al atardecer, ya que es muy bueno el reflejo del edificio en el agua.

Innenbereich des gewaltigen Agra-Fort - außen hat es mächtige dicke rote Mauern.
Hierher in den weißen Bereich wurde der Erbauer des Taj Mahal (Großmogel Shah Jahan, 17. Jahrh.) von seinem Sohn verbannt und lebte noch 8 Jahre bis zu seinem Tode.
Er wünschte täglich über den Fluß auf das Grab seiner Frau zu schauen - auf das Taj Mahal.
Este inmenso mausoleo de mármol blanco se alzó por orden del emperador Sha Jahan entre 1631 y 1638 para honrar la memoria de su esposa favorita. El Taj Mahal constituye, sin lugar a dudas, una de las grandes obras maestras del genio artístico del hombre. Rodeado de un enorme jardín y a orillas del río Yamuna es obviamente el edificio más visitado del país.
The road from Sikandra to Agra was stop and go, mostly stop... which made time for very good people watching.

The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
Construction of the mausoleum was completed in 1648, but work continued on other phases of the project for another five years. The first ceremony held at the mausoleum was an observance by Shah Jahan, on 6 February 1643, of the 12th anniversary of the death of Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around ₹32 million, which in 2015 would be approximately ₹52.8 billion.
The building complex incorporates the design traditions of Indo-Islamic and Mughal architecture. It employs symmetrical constructions with the usage of various shapes and symbols. While the mausoleum is constructed of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones, red sandstone was used for other buildings in the complex similar to the Mughal era buildings of the time. The construction project employed more than 20,000 workers and artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the emperor's court architect.
The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel of Islamic art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". It is regarded as one of the best examples of Mughal architecture and a symbol of Indian history. The Taj Mahal is a major tourist attraction and attracts more than five million visitors a year. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative. The Taj Mahal and its setting, surrounding grounds, and structures are a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India.
Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world because it is one of the most splendid masterpieces of architecture in the world. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth.
El Taj Mahal es un conjunto amurallado de edificios que ocupa 17 hectáreas y que también incluye una gran mezquita, una casa de invitados y jardines y el famoso mausoleo cubierto por la cúpula de mármol blanco.
De retour, je vous salue toutes et tous...Un grand merci à Claire pour ces inestimables conseils! Cette photo, ce cliché éculé devrais-je plutôt dire, fut ma dernière photo en Inde. Elle ne reflète que peu mon voyage mais je me suis levé aux aurores pour arriver à la faire!!! Pour ceux qui connaissent Agra, j'ai eu de la chance, il n'y avait pas trop de pollution ce jour là. On dit de cette ville que quand ses habitants meurent et qu'ils vont en enfer, ils croient qu'ils sont au Paradis. C'est dire le degré d'horreur et de pollution de cette cité. Beaucoup de tri à faire....donc à bientôt!
