Western view of the Taj Mahal, viewed during the golden hour. Symbolically, the constantly changing sunlight reflected by the mausoleum's marble has a metaphoric role which associates light with the presence of God. Located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the Taj Mahal was constructed in the 17th century by Shah Jahan and has been called the finest example of Mughal architecture. In 1983 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
