Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden) is a historical garden located in Nagla Devjit, Agra, Uttar Pradesh. This Mughal-era garden, partly ruined and restored in the 1990s, offers a unique rear view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River. The garden is known for its peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxing walks and photography, especially during sunset when the view of the Taj Mahal is particularly stunning.

It's a less crowded alternative to the main tourist spots, which allows for a more relaxed experience.
