It is considered one of the most beautiful and recognizable buildings in the world, known for its stunning architecture and historical significance, built between 1632 and 1653 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631. The construction of the Taj Mahal involved the labor of thousands of artisans, laborers, and skilled craftsmen. The design incorporates elements of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architecture.

Our next stop will be Agra Fort- one of the most iconic and well-preserved forts in India, known for its magnificent architecture and historical significance. The fort was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great in the mid-16th century and served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until the capital shifted to Delhi. The fort is a prime example of Mughal architecture, combining elements of Persian, Turkish, and Indian architectural styles. It is constructed mainly from red sandstone, giving it a distinctive reddish color. The fort complex is surrounded by massive walls, and it encompasses various buildings, courtyards, gardens, and palaces. Notable structures within the fort include the Jahangiri Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Am, Khas Mahal, and the iconic Moti Masjid.
