Hi Sanjay

Wish you a very happy Bohag Bihu and assamese new year

I do always admire your photography and relevant write up in connection with photographies
The analysis on TAJ MAHAL &KUMBH MELA is thought provoking

Pls do visit Jorhat , Assam whenever possible and I shall take you to. MAJULI. the centre of living heritage of Saint Sankaradeva Legacy

In reply to Manoj Sahay. Hi Manoj, Thanks for you e-mail. Yes you are right there is a barbed wire fence at the Mehtab Bagh and the police don't let you to to river bed anymore. Its because of the terrorist threat to the Taj Mahal made several years ago. If you want to go to the river and take the boat that however is possible . For that you will have to go down from the East Gate of the Taj Mahal past an akhara and along the outer wall of the Taj Mahal. Hope you are able to get there. Do share your images when you are back. Thanks , Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

Have come onto your site many times in the past year, directed by various searches. Earlier in the year, looking for tips to photograph the kanchenjunga (obscured by rain clouds unfortunately). Tomorrow morning I plan to squeeze some time out from a work trip and weave my way to Mehtab bagh. It’s my first trip to the Taj (unfortunately on Friday), but I gained some reassurance looking at your brilliant captures!! Hope to catch some luck, good light and the labor of love. I learnt though that there is now a barbed wire fence at Mehtab bagh, so not possible to go down to the river. You have been there recently, so any tips ? ( this is so last minute and I am not expecting a reply, but no harm in asking is there ? )

I agree. Even i wasn’t impressed when i saw it for the first time ( in 92), while still in school. i don’t know what was i expecting… and i thought probably that was my first and last visit.

But no. It wasn’t.I have gone there thrice now and each visit is a revelation. i love it now. I guess as a kid i was just looking at the monument and as i have grown up i have started seeing it with it’s historical context.
