This image was captured on Christmas Day 1978 while I was in India on assignment. The American Embassy was closed for the holiday and it was a perfect time to visit some of India's historic sites. Along with three others and a local driver we traveled to Agra and visited the Taj along with the Red Fort. An interesting way to spend our Christian holiday. I was shooting with a Minolta SRT 101 at the time and using Kodak film.
The Taj Mahal , 'Crown of the Palace', is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the southern bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
