This monument and its grounds are a must visit in Delhi, to get an idea of the Mughal influence and history of the country. I would recommend taking a guide and having at least 90 minutes in hand, if not more. There’s parking across the street, from where you can purchase the tickets.
The ticket price for Indians is ₹40 (35 if you pay with a card) & ₹600 cash for foreign tourist (₹550 for a card transaction
Visited on a weekday so the queue to buy a ticket/enter the premises wasn’t too long

Since they don't allow tripods, I would presume not. Although still photography with a DSLR is allowed, Archeological Survey of India sites don't allow tripods as you need to get a written permission from ASI to "film".

I will be in Delhi for 5 nights and 4 days.
Can anyone provide me a itinerary with Taj Mahal & mathura Brindaban tour??

Taj Mahal, Mathura and Vrindavan can be seen in one day. Best option is to hire a cab. First visit Taj, then Agra Fort and while returning visit Mathura and Vrindvan. Prem Mandir shall be visited only by night. Lighting is too good.
For Delhi half day for Akshar Dham temple. Reach the temple around 3 pm, if possible have a late lunch there. Visit the temple then must see the light and sound show. You will remember it for your whole life. It will start in the evening. Other part of Delhi can be seen in a day. Lal quila, Raj Ghat, Jama Masjid, India Gate, Humayun Tomb, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple. Don't shop at Palika bazar, instead try Sarojini market or Lajpat market. Besides there are many malls. Try food at Andhra Bhavan, go for thali. In Delhi you can hire cab for a package OR you can easily use auto to move from one place to another. Online cab service is good in Delhi.
