About this pattern

The Taj Mahal seen through a dark pointed archway, filled edge to edge. The white building stands in the light beyond the arch against a pale blue sky: a pointed central dome with a finial, a smaller dome on each side, a minaret on each side and a tall arched doorway with a dark door, on a long white platform. Pale gray shades the right side of each white part. In front, a long pool runs straight toward the building between green lawns, with the dome reflected in it as a small gray shape, and two dark green cypress trees stand on each side.

57 stitches wide by 64 high: 3,648 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Antique Blue 932, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
