India Mehtab Bagh Gardens
Right across the Yamuna river from the Taj Mahal so you have good vistas of the Taj.
After building the Taj Mahal in white stone as a mausoleum for his wife, Shah Jahan planned to replicate it in black stone on this site for himself. However, realising that this was squandering his inheritance, his son had him arrested and imprisoned in the red fort for the rest of his life.

Photography Tips
The garden is symmetrical to the Taj Mahal so leveraging the gardens to frame the Taj is one composition. Depending on the time of year the river can reflect the Taj.
