Visiting Taj atleast once in a life time is almost everyone's dream....mine too..
We happened to visit this great monument a couple of years back..After visiting Agra fort on the first day of sightseeing,we were left with a very little time to pay our visit to Taj..So thought of having a brief visit that day,thinking that the next day anyway we could spend our whole time there..The taxiwala advised us to take the Mehtab Bagh route then,because it will be less crowdy hence would fit to our time schedule..
With great excitement we were stepping towards Taj..There was a Mughal park,after taking few steps in the park,as we couldn't see anything,we moved further just waching the plants..And suddenly you know what ? It appeared in front of my eyes leaving me speechless..
My first view of Taj...

This view from the Mehtab Bagh,on the opposite side of the river Yamuna,the Taj offers a chance to get a shot with a more rural setting..I must say it was the unusual view of Taj..The sun was about to set then..We spent nearly 1 hour there..I'm lucky to have that wonderful sight..Later we thanked the taxiwala..
The river Yamuna was completely dry here..

The next morning we visited the monument in the Taj grounds,I liked it but I must admit that the yesterday's experience was much better than this..

@ Ritesh Gupta,
Thank you so much Ritesh :)
Lovely series of pictures. Seeing The Taj Mahal is always an amazing experience. It transports you back into History to the period of the magnificent Mughals !
You went there in winters right January February around? the photos are morning photos right? around 8 to 9 am? Great pics, my favourite time in the day. Do you know Taj looks different at different times of the day. I lived in Gwalior for 8 years and in Agra for 3 years during graduation. Taj for me is something from my childhood, something from my home.Thanks for the nostalgia
