An evocative shot of the Mussaman Burj and the Yamuna river taken from Agra Fort, again by John Murray in 1857.
Mussaman Burj is located in the Anguri Bagh within the Agra Fort but on the river and was said to be Mumtaz Mahal's residence. It now offers a view of the Taj Mahal, where she is buried. It was also where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb and where he died.
