In
the month of July 2017, the Taj Mahal will be open for the night viewing from 7th
July to 11th July 2017. It is open two days before and two days
after the full moon. The tickets are booked 24 hours in advance. The visitor is
required to fill up a detailed form along with the copy of their passport.
Altogether,
400 tourists are permitted per night for the visit. The 400 tourists are
divided into a batch of 50. There are only eight batches. The timings for the
night view commences from 8:30 PM to 12:30 AM according to the Indian Standard
Time.
WHAT
IS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE TAJ MAHAL
There
are certain things which are not permitted inside the Taj Mahal. Any electronic
gadget apart from your camera and mobile phone, eatables, wires, any sharp
article like swiss knife, nail cutter, no religious books except travel guide books,
match box, lighter, cigarette, liquor, and any promotional material.
HOW
TO CLICK PHOTOGRAPHS DURING NIGHT VIEWING
The
night viewing is one of the most breath taking, life time experience. The Taj
is not lit up by artificial lights. It is the moonlight that lit up the entire
structure. The time duration per batch is only 30 minutes, so normal
photography will not be possible. In order to capture the moment, first change your
camera or mobile to night vision mode. And then click the photographs. Another
thing is that you will not be able to take selfie.
