Heart-Arresting View Of Taj Mahal – Sunrise & Sunset
“Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are; but the proud passion of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones.” – Sir Edwin Arnold
Are you ready to witness the miraculous appearance of a wondrous monument standing tall on the bank of river Yamuna?? Is it been long since you have seen a magic with your bare eyes??
Whether it’s adorned with the backdrop full of light or say it’s embraced with the mild darkness of the late evenings – the image of the Taj Mahal is as perfect as a well-outlined picture.
Before I share a few details related to the sunrise and sunset view of Taj Mahal – here is a brief about the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal:
In order to complement the above-listed questions with a common answer- all you have to do is to make your way to the city of love that houses one of the Seven Wonders of the World and YES a UNESCO recognized World Heritage Site too [Taj Mahal].
A monument that stands on the foundation of love and bonding, which was once shared between the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved Wife Mumtaz Mahal. From the day they first exchanged a mere sight of each other; they got this strong feeling stating that they are meant for each other.
In the alleys of Meena Bazaar; an epic love story took birth, which is still grounded in the hearts of millions of people. The Mughal emperor and the Persian Princess tied the knot with the blessings of their family members; they exchanged a couple of vow and promises.
Less did they know, a day arrived that changed the life of a few dependents [Mumtaz Mahal stopped breathing while giving birth to her fourteenth child]. The events and the memories accompanied by her became the life of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
There was not even a single moment when he didn’t think of her since Mumtaz Mahal left this world. Shah Jahan felt this urge to build something, which would last like for forever [he wanted to make this love story immortal].
Taj Mahal In Brief
In order to drive his desire into reality, finally in 1632 he commissioned the formation of the great symbol of Love Taj Mahal. The creation of Taj Mahal took years of effort, strong and creative manpower and wealth. At last in 1653 this white-marbled monument’s construction was completed.
The Taj Mahal was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 1983 and later in 2007, it was announced a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative. In present this mausoleum is more than just a monument; for millions of admirers it’s an unforgettable moment and a truest emotion.
Make your way to the city of love so as to please your eyes with a magnificent view of the Taj Mahal. Being the major tourist city Agra, it’s easily connected by India’s capital territory. It’s merely 3-4 hours drive from Delhi [well connected by superfast train, private cars and flights].

Taj Mahal – The Charm Enhancers
The mere reflection of the Taj Mahal is truly remarkable and spell-binding. Two times of the day highly justifies the presence of this wondrous beauty, which is well-recognized as the face of the city; the view of Taj Mahal turns more of like a heavenly paradise when nature showers its love and care by featuring various shades of Welcoming and waving Goodbye.
If you wish to witness the beauty and if you desire to feel the influence of this striking appearance then you would have to visit this monument twice over a period of two days.
