The Taj Mahal in Agra is a famous tourist destination in India and millions of tourists visit this monument every year, making it one of the most visited monuments in the country. This year, the Taj Mahal bags the title of the highest-revenue-generating monument.
For tourists, it’s a lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the moonlight. This year in October, admirers can praise the beauty of the Taj for four nights in a row during “Sharad Purnima.”
Every month, there are five opportunities to see the Taj Mahal at night, including the full moon night and the two nights before and after the night. The Archaeological Survey of India determines all these details, including dates and timing to view the Taj Mahal during the full moon period.Â
A total of 400 people get the opportunity to witness the Taj every night during these five days. This year, the Taj will remain closed on the first day, i.e. Friday, for common tourists as Muslims offer namaz in the mosque.Â
