About Agra
Agra, on the Yamuna River in northern India, is home to the Taj Mahal, the monumental Agra Fort and the Mughal ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri.
The Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, is one of the most admired buildings anywhere, its white marble changing colour from dawn to dusk. Its gardens, reflecting pools and inlaid stonework are loveliest early in the morning, and the Mehtab Bagh gardens across the river offer a calm sunset view.
Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
