Taj Mahal at dawn

As the first rays of the sun kiss the monument, Taj Mahal glows pink, giving it a celestial look; the transformation from soft grey to pink and then to soft red glow is slow and divine.
Taj Mahal at Sunset

When the sun hides behind the Taj at sunset, it gifts a golden aura to the memorial. From fiery yellow to soft orange and then to its original hue of pearl white, the change of colour is a lifetime experience for the tourists.
Taj Mahal at full moon

When the night sky is gentle with the soft light of the moon, bask in the silvery glow of Taj Mahal. Not only the monument looks breathtakingly beautiful on the full moon night but also portrays the mastery of the artisans of Mughal era.

Hence be at Taj Mahal just before dawn or dusk to be enthralled with its beauty.
