Taj Mahal: facade light in December 2026
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: Sun on the main front (from the garden) 07:10–17:25, most frontal around 12:15; golden light 07:10–08:00 and 16:35–17:25. Every day of December is in the table.
The classic view from the garden looks north at the south front. From October to March the low sun lights that front all day. In summer the sun rises in the north-east and passes almost overhead, so the front only gets flat light around midday while the east and west sides take the morning and evening sun.
