beautiful mosques. Later from here we proceed to a photo tour of the Taj Mahal from the riverside to capture the splendid
views of the Taj situated across the river Yamuna and from Mehtab Bagh — the moonlit garden — believed to have been designed by Shah Jahan to view the Taj on moonlit nights, far away from the maddening crowd, The garden complex is
situated on the left bank of Yamuna opposite to TajMahal. It is a huge square measuring approximately 300x300m and in
