Tips:

Prefer to choose the later batches for Full moon visit of Taj Mahal, as the moon may not always be high enough or visible clearly during the early batches.
Be prepared for pretty strict security checking during night views. Bring your passport/ document and Taj Mahal Moonlight tour ticket.
Bags and mobile phones aren’t allowed inside the monument, with the exception of cameras. However, only still photography is permitted and not video. It often tends to be really dark and quite a pain to click a decent photograph, without glaring and noisy flash to ruin it. As tripods are not allowed, night photography can be difficult.
A lot of times, it is extremely dark and the moon may not be visible clearly, not leaving enough light for the Taj to acquire its blush. Do not be disappointed and remember that it is mostly just luck when it comes to seeing the Taj Mahal at night.
Enjoy the moment in front of Taj Mahal at Full Moon if the conditions are not preferable for Night photography.
While you are there, do not miss the sunsets and sunrise at Taj Mahal. There are many other vantage points like Mehtab Bagh from where you can enjoy more views of Taj Mahal.
