Why Sunrise Is the Best Slot
The Taj Mahal opens at dawn, and the sunrise slot is the top-rated way to see it for three real reasons: the marble's colour genuinely shifts from pink-tinted to white-gold as the light changes, the heat hasn't built up yet (this matters most March–June), and the crowds that arrive by mid-morning tour bus are still hours away. Gates open roughly 30 minutes before official sunrise; arriving at opening is the difference between an empty platform and a queue.
