The Taj Mahal Viewed Through the Great Gate, Agra, India

Framed through the Great Gate of its entrance complex, the Taj Mahal stands in quiet splendor in this photograph likely taken by an American serviceman stationed in India during World War II. For many personnel of the China-Burma-India Theater, a visit to this Mughal masterpiece in Agra was a memorable respite from wartime duties. Project: 218090
