The best season time is during Indian winters and spring season from November till march end after that there will be too hot & sunny.
Best time in Winters is after 9 am or 10 am because you will be need at-least 3 hrs to visit the whole Taj Mahal with a guide and for taking photographs also.
Best time in Summers (April till July) is from Sunrise to 8AM and 5PM till sunset. During this time slot you avoid high temperatures.
Best Day to visit Taj Mahal in Agra is Tuesday. On Tuesday Agra is free from usually traffic jams as mostly shops closed on Tuesday in Agra but some Dhabhas, restaurant and hotels remain open 24×7.
Avoid Saturday & Sunday due to high rush and low chances to get tickets.
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.

Visiting the Taj Mahal during sunrise, sunset, and full moon nights offers an unforgettable experience. The beauty of the monument during these times is truly captivating.
The Taj Mahal opens its gates half an hour before sunrise and closes half an hour before sunset every day, except for Fridays when it remains closed. However, visitors have the unique opportunity to explore the Taj Mahal at night during two days before and two days after the full moon. This special night viewing is available for a total of five days each month. The timings for the moonlight viewings are from 8:30 pm to 12:30 am. There are eight slots available during these nights, each lasting for half an hour, and only 50 people are allowed in each slot.
Tickets for the moonlight viewing can only be purchased one day in advance from the office of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) located on the Mall Road in Agra. The ticket office is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

The best time to visit the Taj Mahal is typically during the cooler months, from October to March, when the weather is more pleasant and comfortable for exploring the monument and its surroundings. Additionally, early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended to avoid crowds and witness the monument in the soft light of sunrise or sunset, which enhances its beauty.
