Agra and Taj Mahal Agra, or the city of the Taj, as it is known
all over the world, forms the first destination on the itinerary
of most travelers coming into India. Forming part of the famous
'Golden Triangle' (Delhi-Jaipur-Agra), it is placed on the western
bank of the Yamuna. The magnificent Taj Mahal which is the pride
of this city is set around a Charbagh or 'four garden' plan, which
is split by watercourses - a reflection of the Persian style. Taj

but is located towards the far end of the enclosure near the bank
of river Yamuna. The tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shahjahan are located
in the basement, while their replicas are placed directly above
in the upper hall. Besides the Taj Mahal, Agra is also home to some
of the finest monuments of the Mughal period - Agra Fort, Diwan-I-Am,
Diwan-i-Khas, Musamman Burj, Jehangir's Palace, Shish Mahal, Jama
Masjid, Tomb of Itmad-ud-daulah, Akbar's Mausoleum, and the Mariyam's
Tomb, to name a few. The Mughal love for nature can be seen at Agra
in the form of Ram Bagh, one of the earliest gardens, laid by the
Mughal ruler Babur, in 1528 AD. Oct. 9, 2005 - Taj Mahal |
