Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas;
and two very 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 straight alignment with the Taj Mahal. The forestry

monuments.. Enroute we stop to visit Fatehpur Sikri - which has
