This painting started with many sketches, focusing on getting the sunset colors right, and developing some pedestrians walking leisurely on the sides. I wanted to have traditional India represented, not just some tourists in shorts with their cameras.
See details in these views of my special pedestrians below:

As you can see the figures are a bit romanticized  with traditional Indian dresses. Nowadays Indian people have lost their traditional customs. They wear pants and shirts, even young ladies. However, the traditional sari and punjabi is still worn extensively by Indian women.

The Taj is a marble monument, and it reflects the warm sunset tones very well. In the following detail pictures, you can see how everything is bathed in an yellow/orange light.
