Agra<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been immortalized as the City of the Taj. The city is a virtual gateway to a world of discovery\u2026.. a freeze-frame from a resplendent era that\u2019s long since gone by. In the great epic \u2018Mahabharat\u2019 the region of Agra is described as \u2018Agraban\u2019. Agra came into limelight during the rule of Afghan King Sikandar Lodhi \u2013 who had made it the capital of his empire. Later in 1526 A.D., the Mughal Emperor Babar took upon himself the task for rendering Agra, a unique character and beauty of its own.<\/p>\n

Places To See In Agra\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Taj Mahal<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0Taj Mahal<\/strong>\u00a0is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.<\/p>\n

Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other phases of the project for another 10 years. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million rupees, which in 2015 would be approximately 52.8 billion rupees (U.S. $827 million). The construction project employed some 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by the court architect to the emperor, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.<\/p>\n

Agra fort<\/strong>
\nAgra Fort<\/strong>\u00a0is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. The Agra fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.<\/p>\n

Tomb of I\u2019tim\u0101d-ud-Daulah<\/strong>
\nTomb of I\u2019tim\u0101d-ud-Daulah (I\u2019tim\u0101d-ud-Daulah k\u0101 Maqbara) is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Often described as a \u201cjewel box\u201d, sometimes called the \u201cBaby T\u0101j\u201d, the tomb of I\u2019tim\u0101d-ud-Daulah is often regarded as a draft of the T\u0101j Mahal.
\nAlong with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628 represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture \u2013 primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun\u2019s Tomb in Delhi and Akbar\u2019s tomb in Sikandra \u2013 to its second phase, based on white marble and pietra dura inlay, most elegantly realized in the T\u0101j Mahal.<\/p>\n
