beloved wife. The Taj is at its most alluring in the relative quiet
of early morning, shrouded in mists and bathed with a soft red
glow. As its vast marble surfaces fall into shadow or reflect the
sun, its color changes, from soft grey and yellow to pearly cream
and dazzling white; it's well worth visiting at different times.
This play of light is an important decorative device, symbolically
implying the presence of Allah, who is never represented in anthropomorphic
form.
