The phases of moon phase out love between the mortal lovers Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal who happened to see each other by God’s grace on the surface of the earth and with Almighty’s blessings have been rejoined in death at Taj Mahal.

The romantic love of Shah Jahan for Mumtaz is eternal in a way the moon symbolizes its presence in the backdrop of Taj Mahal.

Moonlighting at Taj Mahal, the whiteness of the mausoleum looking on to itself while people admiring the beauty surrounding the lovers resting within.

The single illumination in the Taj Mahal on moonless night reminds of the beauty of Mumtaz Mahalo, what she had been when a nubile wife of the Emperor.

 

Taj Mahal in moonlight  shines with the soft white light of the moon and in hot country like India the night time is ideal for a cool night view of the white marble.

The surreal   Taj Mahal melting as if the minarets were candles thus illuminating the mausoleum with forsaken beauty of two made for each other lovers.

Moon reflected on to the river Yamuna is a perfect setting for a romantic interlude in the presence of Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal moon lit in a face of it with darkness spreading as if lovers in deep sleep are mingling with quiteness of night.

The fresh water in the love canal of Taj Mahal sets up the perfect romantic get together with someone you really care for while the monument becomes a witness to some thing of the supernatural in your company.
