The Taj Mahal is a harmonious blending of Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles, showcasing intricate carvings, delicate inlays, and exquisite craftsmanship.

The Taj Mahal is a photographer’s paradise, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Don’t forget to capture the iconic shot of the Taj Mahal reflected in the serene waters of the reflecting pool at sunset.
Agra Fort: A Timeless Fortress of Power
Just a short distance from the Taj Mahal lies the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and another architectural gem from the Mughal era. Also known as the Red Fort of Agra, this majestic fortress served as the residence of the Mughal emperors for generations. Inside its fortified walls, you’ll discover stunning palaces, audience halls, and sprawling courtyards.
As you wander through the many palatial chambers, such as the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) and the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), you’ll be transported back in time to an era of grandeur and regal opulence. The strategic location of the Agra Fort also offers breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal from its ramparts, providing a different perspective of this architectural wonder.
Exploring the Gems of Agra: Itmad-ud-Daulah Tomb & Mehtab Bagh
While the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort take center stage in Agra’s tourism, there are other hidden gems that deserve attention. One such gem is the Itmad-ud-Daulah Tomb, often referred to as the “Baby Taj.” This exquisite marble mausoleum is considered a precursor to the grandeur of the Taj Mahal and showcases delicate craftsmanship and intricate ornamentation.
Mehtab Bagh, on the other hand, offers a tranquil retreat with stunning views of the Taj Mahal. Known as the Moonlight Garden, this garden complex is believed to have been built by Emperor Shah Jahan as an extension of the Taj Mahal.
