Mehtab Bagh, located across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal in Agra, is a serene 16th-century Mughal garden. Designed as a "Moonlight Garden," it offers unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal’s iconic white marble dome, especially enchanting during sunrise and sunset. The rectangular layout, with water channels, fountains, and flowerbeds, reflects Mughal architectural symmetry. Originally commissioned by Emperor Babur, it served as a pleasure retreat and a strategic vantage point. Today, it remains a tranquil escape, attracting visitors seeking picturesque views and a deeper connection to the Taj Mahal’s historical and cultural context.
