The Taj Mahal is a magnificent white marble mausoleum located in Agra, India, and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful architectural masterpieces in the world. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the monument stands as a symbol of eternal love and devotion. Construction began in 1632 and took over 20 years to complete, involving thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The Taj Mahal is renowned for its stunning symmetry, intricate carvings, and the way its appearance changes with the light of the day. Set against the backdrop of the Yamuna River and surrounded by lush gardens, it attracts millions of visitors each year and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Agra Fort is a historic fort located in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Built primarily with red sandstone, it was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1565 and later enhanced by his grandson Shah Jahan. This UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for several generations. The fort is an architectural masterpiece that combines Islamic and Hindu design elements. Inside its massive walls are several impressive structures, including the Jahangir Palace, Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), and the stunning white marble Khas Mahal. From its ramparts, one can also see the distant Taj Mahal, adding to the fort’s historical and visual significance. Agra Fort stands as a powerful symbol of Mughal strength, grandeur, and artistic achievement.

Itimad-ud-Daulah, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," is a Mughal mausoleum located in Agra, India. Commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, it was built between 1622 and 1628 in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who held the title Itimad-ud-Daulah, meaning "Pillar of the State." The tomb marks a significant shift in Mughal architecture, transitioning from the red sandstone structures of earlier periods to the more refined use of white marble with delicate inlay work. Often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, the tomb is noted for its intricate lattice screens, pietra dura decoration, and symmetrical design. Set in a charbagh-style garden along the Yamuna River, Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb reflects Persian influences and represents a blend of architectural elegance and historical significance.
