A photograph of the Taj Mahal in Agra, seen from its front across a long rectangular reflecting pool lined with red sandstone walkways and clipped cypress trees. The white marble mausoleum has a large central dome, four slender minarets and an arched portal. A small crowd of visitors stands near the entrance. In the foreground a smiling person with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over the shoulders, and appears to be the person in front of the monument. Hazy sky and green lawns complete the scene.
