1. The Taj Mahal is considered one of the architectural marvels of the world and a symbol of enduring love. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built this monument in loving memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz. The monument was built in around 42 acres of land with pure white marble brought from various places across the world. It is believed that the emperor chose this particular spot along the banks of Yamuna because of its peace and calmness. It is now one of the seven wonders of the world and is also recognized as one of the world heritage sites. It’s one of those places that not only meets but beats expectations. This is an excellent tribute to eternal love. Just a phrase is enough to express the beauty of “WAAH TAJ.”

2. Agra Fort is one of India's finest Mughal monuments, built mainly by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century and later expanded and transformed by Shah Jahan. Made largely of red sandstone with elegant marble interiors, the fort served as a royal residence, military stronghold and important centre of Mughal power. Inside, visitors can explore magnificent palaces, courtyards, audience halls, mosques and intricate architectural details. From the fort, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.

3. Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb is a beautiful Mughal monument on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra. Built between 1622 and 1628 by Empress Nur Jahan in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, it is often called the "Baby Taj." The monument is famous for its delicate white marble, intricate pietra dura inlay, fine lattice screens and elegant floral designs. Unlike the massive red-sandstone monuments of earlier Mughal architecture, Itimad-ud-Daulah represents an important transition toward the refined marble style later perfected in the Taj Mahal. Its peaceful gardens and detailed craftsmanship make it an important part of Agra's Mughal heritage

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.
