Agra was the capital of the grand Mughal Empire,

During this period the city became a leading centre
of art, science, commerce and culture. Akbar the Great
made Agra great. The city's origins are dim but Akbar's
grandfather Babur is credited with Agra's founding.
The short golden age of Agra came to an end with the
seventeenth century reign of Shah Jehan, mastermind
of the unforgettable Taj Mahal.
This morning pay your first visit to the magnificent
monument to love - The Taj Mahal, built by an emperor
in memory of his beloved queen. Construction of the
Taj Mahal began in 1631, and is believed to have taken
18 years to complete, with over 20,000 craftsmen working
around the clock. The design and construction is said
to be that of the legendary architect, Ustad Ahamad
Lahori. Legend has it that once construction was completed,
Shah Jehan had Lahori's hands cut off, and blinded,
so he would never be able to duplicate the structure.
What makes the Taj Mahal unique is its perfect proportions,
distinct femininity, medium of construction and ornamentation.
Its marble exterior reflects rose and golden tints at
sunrise and sunset, while it is dazzling white during
the day. It is impossible to visualize the Taj Mahal
in any surrounding others than its paradoxical garden.
Paradise, in Islam, is visualized as a lush garden where
running streams flow. When the Mughals brought this
concept to India they elevated it to heights of incomparable
artistry. Proceed on a tour of Agra Fort and the city.
