Maze of the Week #67 - Taj Mahal Maze

My most popular mazes from 2022 were famous buildings from around the world. It inspired me to look for more buildings to maze like Maze of the Week #67, the Taj Mahal. Certainly this is a building that most of the world has heard of ! Completed in 1648, it is still an amazing structure located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Check out this video showing the grounds and inside !

Taj Mahal

Maze explanation: To add more detail to the structure I made this a poster sized maze. The size is 43 x 28 and it is difficult to solve printed on small pieces of paper. Also, because of the detail I had to work around a lot of things to create the maze - so I created 2 ! The main maze is from tower to tower, with a bonus maze in the central dome.

The Maze: I found the colors difficult to match but went with a full color version to highlight the golden discs. In different lights the discs take on different shades.
