AGRA: Two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and Shah Jahan, transformed the little village of Agra into a
befitting second capital of the Mughal Empire – giving it the name Dar-ul-Khilafat {seat of the Emperor}.
Today a visitor to Agra is caught up in a world of contrasting edifices, of red sandstone and white marble,
narrow galleys and quaint buggies, and that irresistible charm that this favourite city of the Mughals still
retains. It is not surprising, that modern Agra still reflects its Mughal heritage most conspicuously. A walk
down the narrow bustling streets of the city will introduce the visitor to the wafting aroma of Mughlai
cuisine.
In the afternoon, proceed for the sightseeing of the city visit to The Agra Fort also built by Akbar in1565
Ad – the construction is dominated by red-sandstone and houses the beautiful pearly mosque also it is
from here that Shah Jahan imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb looked across the Yamuna River in the last
few days of his life at the Taj Mahal.
In the afternoon also visit Itmadullah Tomb known as the Baby Taj Mahal and built between 1622-26
Ad by Nur Jahan the wife of Jahangir in memory of her father Ghias-ud-Din-Beg. From Itmadullah’s Tomb
– a wonderful view of the River and the public laundry can be seen which is very interesting.
