Once the renowned Mughal capital,
this city only 220 Km. from Delhi is the
ultimate desire of every tourist foreign or Indian to visit. Here
stands the exquisite mausoleum TAJMAHAL, which is an eloquent
commemoration of Emperor Shah Jahan’s labour of love for his Queen
Empress Mumtaz Mahal. The magnificent Taj spaces
volumes of sheer romance which still exists in the air in and around
Agra. Legends of by gone ages, the aroma
of spicy food and the colour of local traditions alongwith the
throbbing live of the shops and bazaars testify this city to be the
very soul of India. Besides,
the Mughal empire has left behind other historic monuments of great
beauty such as the tomb of Akbar at Sikandra with its valuated
gateway and curious structural design, the Mausoleum of
Itma-ud-Daulah with its jewels in stone, the Massive Agra fort and
nearby Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned city of red sandstone.
