Eating with a view over Taj Mahal
Itmad-ud-Daula's Tomb
At Agra Fort
The Taj Mahal, Agra
Hello,
has anyone ever visited the Taj Mahal at night during a full Moon? Is it worth while? What are the times and Prices?
Thanks,
Michael
The prices do not change; however, you have to purchase tickets in advance as only a few are allowed in.
Definitely. I can't tell you what the current times and prices are but I went there on the night of a full moon over 30 years ago and I can still picture it in my mind glowing like a jewelled lampshade in the black sky. It's beautiful during the day but by the light of the moon it's magical.
Visiting Taj Mahal during a full moon nights is supposed to be the most romantic time of life. Ticket price will remain the same as it is to see the Taj during the night but it will make a great difference on its appearance.
A negative impression was left by the degradation of most beautiful historic buildings that we saw. A nice surprise expected us in the Red Fort, where Mogul's residence was carefully restored. Absolutely fabulous, but... the work was not complete, and the guide explained that the budget ended in the middle of the work. My God! If the budget was not enough for ONE room, in ONE palace, was is going to happen to India's tresors?
There are few women at the streets, you can see them at the monuments or station with their families, but you will nearly don’t see them walking along the streets or at market. I asked the owner of the cyber we went and ask him about women. He told me they don’t like their women to be in the streets because they don’t like other men look at them. Well, if you are a woman, be prepared to receive all those eyes
Shah Jahan's legacy was one of the most profound of all the Mughals. A patron of the fine arts, he continued the Mughal patronage of painting, although his passion was architecture, with the highlight being undoubtedly the Taj Mahal. Painting during his reign reflected the serene prosperity that the Mughals enjoyed with many scenes reflecting Shah Jehan's interest in romance.
The period of his reign was the golden age of Indian architecture and the greatest prosperity of the the Mughal powerin Industan. Shah Jahan erected many splendid monuments, the most famous of which is the Taj Mahal at Agra, built as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal; while the Pearl Mosque at Agra and the palace and great mosque at Delhi also commemorate him. The celebrated "Peacock Throne," said to have been worth millions of dollars by modern estimates, also dates from his reign. He was the founder of the modern city of Delhi, the native name of which is Shahjahanabad.
Monuments commissioned by Shah Jahan:
- Taj Mahal (tomb for his favorite wife and himself) in Agra
- Delhi Fort also called the Red Fort or Lal Quila (Hindi) in Delhi
- Large sections of Agra Fort
- Jama Masjid (Grand Mosque), Delhi, India
- Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque), Lahore, Pakistan
- Shalimar Gardens of Lahore, Pakistan
- Sections of the Lahore Fort, Lahore, Pakistan
- Jahangir mausoleum (his father's mausoleum)
- Takht e Taus
- Shahjahan Mosque, Thatta, Pakistan
There is a crater named after Shah Jahan on the minor planet 433 Eros. Craters on Eros are named after famous fictional and real-life lovers.
Our tuk-tuk was here, he waits for us while we were walking to the red fort talking all those important images of important peoples. Our tu-tuk driver knew the significant meaning of the mission, therefore he waited here.
Walking trough the street of India you will see all the people (i saw only man) smoking such a small sigar, called BIRI. In India there are a lot of tipes of Biri and it is a normality smoke a biri. (it costs also only 5Rs Vs 50/70Rs for a package of cigarettes), they smoke wherever, on trains, buses, restaurants and so on....
