View of a rooftop area in the Agra Fort, looking toward Taj Mahal in the distance. The finial of the Musamman or Saman Burj, an octagonal tower topped with a dome, can be seen next to an open-sided pavilion with scalloped arches in the center of the image. The pavilion faces a roof terrace. A palm tree is visible on the left area of the image, next to which two native men can be seen crouching.
