If you see just one sight in India in your lifetime, this should be it. The delicately designed facade of the Taj Mahal, a monument commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631 in honor of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, changes colour depending on what time of day you visit. Try early morning for purples and pinks, late morning for bright gleaming white (and fewer other visitors) and late afternoon for soft orange and peach. For a different perspective head across the Yamuna River to the Mehtab Bagh Gardens, from where you can see the Taj reflecting romantically in the calm waters.
