About
Quick facts: Offering a direct view of the Taj Mahal from the opposite side of the Yamuna River, this place is usually quiet and less crowded compared to other tourist attractions in Agra. Spanning approximately 22 hectares, this garden was designed as a water garden with eight symmetrical sections for visual perfection.
Highlights: During the full moon, the moonlight reflects the shadow of the Taj Mahal on the garden pond, creating a stunning night panorama that few visitors know about. The presence of ruins from the Mughal era in the surroundings adds a historical touch that makes the garden atmosphere even more mystical.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable footwear, because the garden area is quite large and partly consists of soil.
- Take photos from the middle point of the garden toward the Taj Mahal, especially at sunset, for a dramatic lighting effect.
- Avoid weekends and national holidays so you do not have to jostle with crowds.
- Bring drinking water and a hat for sun protection during the daytime.
