Taj Mahal Gateway (Darwaza-i-Rauza), Agra, India — The great red sandstone entrance gate, inscribed with Quranic verses in white marble, frames a perfectly composed view of the Taj that reveals itself gradually as visitors walk through the archway. The gate is almost as tall as the Taj's platform, creating a dramatic sense of scale and anticipation.
