Darwaza-i-Rauza, Monumental entrance gate in Agra, India.
The Darwaza-i-Rauza functions as the primary entrance to the Taj Mahal complex, featuring elegant archways and intricate marble decorations throughout its brick structure.
This grand gateway was constructed during the Mughal period as part of the Taj Mahal complex, representing the architectural excellence of seventeenth-century Indian craftsmanship.
The gateway displays detailed calligraphy and geometric patterns in its vaulted ceilings, reflecting the artistic traditions of Islamic architecture in India.
Visitors enter the Taj Mahal complex through this gate daily between sunrise and sunset, with security checks conducted at the entrance for all tourists.
The structure creates an optical effect where the Taj Mahal appears larger when approaching through the gate and smaller when moving away from it.
