Taj Mahal – Seen From Mehtab Bagh
Mehtab Bagh is a finely laid down garden, right opposite the Taj Mahal, across River Yamuna. From here, one gets a beautiful view of the monument, while resting in a shaded and cool atmosphere. The garden, built in a typical symmetrical style that Moghuls patronized, is said to be built by Shahjahan as an extension of the Taj Mahal only. However, some say that he had also kept this space to build a replica of the Mahal, but in black marble. These are more conjectures, than facts.
Feast your eyes:

Really beautiful pictures.
Hey you know that I heard that it was a Shiv temple before. There is even a book published. I don’t remember the name of it now.
And I got forward regarding Taj. I will find that and send you to inspect how true it is written in that page
