About Agra
Agra, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal, is a city steeped in Mughal history and architectural splendor. The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a symbol of eternal love and one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum changes color with the light of day. Agra Fort, another UNESCO site, is a massive red sandstone fortress that served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. The Itmad-ud-Daulah, or 'Baby Taj', is a beautiful tomb that predates the Taj Mahal. Fatehpur Sikri, a deserted Mughal city, is a short drive away and offers stunning architecture. Agra's rich history, magnificent monuments, and intricate craftsmanship make it a must-visit destination. The city's bazaars offer marble inlay work, leather goods, and traditional handicrafts. Experience the magic of sunrise and sunset at the Taj Mahal, when the monument glows in golden hues.
