Abstract In the opening years of the twentieth century, Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, oversaw a vast project of restoring monuments throughout the length and breadth of the sub-continent. The centerpiece in his program was Agra and above all the Taj Mahal (figure I). In this essay I propose to focus on the Taj and specifically on its gardens as restored by Curzon with several questions in mind.
