About this pattern

The Taj Mahal as a dark navy silhouette at sunset, with its reflection in the water below, filled edge to edge. The building shows its pointed central dome and finial, a smaller dome on each side, four minarets and a tall arched doorway, standing on a level bank. The sky is three flat bands: salmon pink at the top, then soft gold, then pale yellow at the horizon. Below the bank the same shape hangs upside down in a lighter dusty blue, and the three bands repeat in the opposite order, with six short golden ripples in the pink water at the bottom.

61 stitches wide by 64 high: 3,904 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Medium Salmon 3712, Pale Golden Brown 3827, Very Dark Navy Blue 939 and 3 more).
