The Taj Mahal (Close on Friday) stands serene and
awesome, 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'. It has been called the most
extravagant monument ever built for the sake of love. The
construction of the Taj commenced in 1631, and was completed in
1653. Workers were gathered from all over the country and from
Central Asia, and about 20,000 people were recruited to
translate this wild dream into a reality.
Among the other monuments that Agra takes pride in is the Agra Fort, built by three of the greatest Mughal emperors.
The construction of this massive structure began in 1565, under
Akbar, and continued till the time of his grandson, Shahjahan.
Armed with massive double walls, punctuated by four gateways,
the fort houses palaces, courts, mosques, baths, gardens and
gracious pavilions within its premises. Among the fascinating
structures that are to be found within the fort is the red
sandstone Jehangiri Mahal built by Akbar for his Hindu
queen, Jodhabai, was one of the earliest constructions
illustrating the fort's change from a military structure to a
palace. Overnight
