The Taj Mahal from a different perspective
This is part of the foundation for the Black Taj Mahal that was never completed. It was to sit directly across the river from the white marble Taj Mahal and be the resting place of Shah Jahan. His son, Aurangzed stopped construction deeming the project too costly.
View down the side rooms in a guest house that sits to the right of the Taj Mahal - red sandstone
The Taj Mahal from the riverside. Guesthouse on the left and mosque on the right. The river floods each Spring. This was the intended site for the Black Taj Mahal.
Note the wall that secures the foundations of the Taj Mahal, as the springs monsoons bring floods. This was quiet a peaceful view and we were glad to have made the effort to experience the Taj Mahal in a different perspective.
The red sandstone Guest house was beautiful and certainly worth wandering through.
