The Taj Mahal in 1500 pieces, photographed from the central axis of the garden. The white mausoleum with its dome and minarets stands against a soft pink evening sky and repeats itself almost perfectly in the long pool in front of it. On the left, a woman in an orange sari walks past the cypresses.
That reflection is also the challenge. Top and bottom halves look much alike, so you will have to read the gradient in the sky and the faint ripple in the water to know which piece goes where. The cypresses and the garden paths give you something to hold on to.
This is a portrait puzzle: the box states 59.5 x 84.5 cm. A poster is included to lay beside your work surface, and this edition comes in the compact box, which takes up less room on the shelf.
A fine gift for anyone who loves architecture and symmetry, or for a traveller with India on the wish list.
