Wandering through the fort’s courtyards and bazaars, one can imagine the bustling activity of the past.
The Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb, built as a mausoleum for a Mughal emperor’s wife, is a masterpiece of Persian-inspired design, with its delicate carvings and reflective white marble.
These architectural wonders provide a captivating contrast to the Taj Mahal, offering a deeper understanding of Agra’s Mughal legacy.
Mehtab Bagh: Sunset Viewing
Across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal, Mehtab Bagh offers a serene setting to witness the sunset’s golden glow cast upon this iconic monument.
This lush garden complex was commissioned by Emperor Babur in the 16th century as a complement to the Taj Mahal. Visitors can explore the tranquil grounds and enjoy unobstructed views of the Taj from the riverbank.
