Travel and Tourism of Agra Tajmahal in India

Agra, is globally renown as the city of the Taj Mahal. But this royal Mughal city has, in addition to the renowned Taj, many monuments that epitomise the high point of Mughal architecture. In the Mughal period, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Agra was the capital of India. It was here that the founder of the dynasty, Babar, laid out the first formal Persian garden on the banks of the river Yamuna. Here, Akbar, his grandson raised the immense ramparts of the great Red Fort. Within its walls, Jehangir built rose-red palaces, courts and gardens, and Shah jahan embellished it with marble mosques, palaces and pavilions of gem-inlaid white marble .
Taj Mahal -
stands serene and tremendous, on a raised marble platform, by the banks of the Yamuna, testifying to the timelessness of art and love. Its pure white marble shimmers silver in the soft moonlight, exudes a shell - pink glow at dawn, and at the close of the day, takes on the tawny, fiery hue of the majestic sun. Shahjahan built the monument in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the lady of the Taj, who died giving birth to their 14th child. It has been called the most exaggerated monument ever built for the sake of love.

Agra Fort- 
Among the other monuments that Agra takes pride in , built by three of the greatest Mughal emperors. The construction of this enormous structure began in 1565, under Akbar, and continuous till the time of his grandson, Shahjahan.

Itmad-ud-daulah tomb-
 stands in the centre of a grand Persian garden, an architectural gem of its times. It is the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, Emperor Jehangir''''''''''''''''s wazir, or Chief Minister, and also his father - in- law.This impressive garden tomb is believed to be the predecessor of the magnificent Taj Mahal, and was the first Mughal configuration to be built entirely of marble, and the first, again, to make use of pietra dura, the inlay marble work that came to be typical of the Taj.
