There are three seasons in Agra, home to the Taj Mahal: the hot season (April to June), the rainy season (July to September), and the (mild) dry season (October to March). October to March is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal weather-wise, when temperatures average from 15 to 27°C (59–81°F).

The nearby Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum that looks like 'An Eternal Tear' to honor the empress Mumtaz Mahal by Shah Jahan. A final tear fell from her beautiful eyes and ran down her cheeks when she closed her eyes. The emperor wiped the tear from the face of his beloved.

Maidens bathed Mumtaz Mahal's body with cold camphor and rose water then wrapped it in five pieces of cloth. She was carried to the burial site by four close relatives and temporarily buried in the garden on the banks of the Tapti River. Her body was oriented north to south with her face facing Mecca to the west.

Shah Jahan mourned for 40 days and only dressed in white clothes. His hair turned white, and he visited the grave at night and cried until dawn. He hardly ate and didn't listen to music.
