City
Information
Agra the city of the Taj Mahal, is the undisputed choice of every
visitor to India. It is well connected by road, rail and air from
Delhi.
The
great Mughals made it their capital and evidence of their passion
for building graces the city to this day. The great Red Fort of
Agra was begun by Akbar; Jahangir added magnificent palaces, courts
and gardens, and Shahjahan further embellished it with elegant
marble pavilions inlaid with semi-precious stones. Across the
river, the Empress Noorjehan built an exquisite marble tomb for
her father Itmad-ud-Daula. And Akbar himself lies buried in a
magnificent mausoleum at Sikandra.
But
the culmination of all this splendour is the Taj Mahal itself,
a serene, pristine monument set in lush terraced gardens. Its
pure white marble is inlaid with semi-precious stones in a delicate
tracery of foliage and flowers. Visitors come to see the Taj Mahal
from all over the world and marvel at its beauty and purity. And
many come again and again to see it by moonlight, in the rosy
light of dawn, and at the flaming hour of sunset.
