Day 14 : Agra.
Agra was the capital of the grand Mughal Empire, at the time of the
Mughals in the 16th & 17th centuries. During this period the city
became a leading centre of art, science, commerce and culture. Akbar
the Great made Agra great. The city's origins are dim but Akbar's
grandfather Babur is credited with Agra's founding. The short golden
age of Agra came to an end with the seventeenth century reign of Shah
Jehan, mastermind of the unforgettable Taj Mahal.
This morning pay your first visit to the magnificent monument to love
- The Taj Mahal, built by an emperor in memory of his beloved queen.
Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1631, and is believed to have
taken 18 years to complete, with over 20,000 craftsmen working around
the clock. The design and construction is said to be
that of the legendary architect, Ustad Ahamad Lahori. Legend has it
that once construction was completed, Shah Jehan had Lahori's hands
cut off, and blinded, so he would never be able to duplicate the structure.
What makes the Taj Mahal unique is its perfect proportions, distinct
femininity, medium of construction and ornamentation. Its marble exterior
reflects rose and golden tints at sunrise and sunset, while it is
dazzling white during the day. It is impossible to visualize the Taj
Mahal in any surrounding others than its paradoxical garden. Paradise,
in Islam, is visualized as a lush garden where running streams flow.
When the Mughals brought this concept to India they elevated it to
heights of incomparable artistry.
Proceed on a tour of Agra Fort and the city. At the impressive Agra
Fort you are taken through the chambers of this royal residence. As
