Travel to Agra
Some places are so blessed that they never fade into oblivion. Agra is one such city that has been in the limelight for many centuries. The city hogged the limelight during the Mughal rule as capital of the Mughal India. Later, when Shah Jahan shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi, it was thought that Agra might lose its popularity. But it was not to be. Before moving to Delhi, Shah Jahan ordered the construction of a mausoleum in memory of his wife. This mausoleum, known as the Taj Mahal, immortalised the city. And since then, Agra has become a destination for all seasons. Travel to Agra
Today, almost more than three centuries after the construction of the Taj Mahal, Agra has not lost its glory. The city attracts tourist from across the country and abroad. Agra is synonymous with the Taj Mahal and is also known as the city of the Taj. Every year millions of tourists, both foreign and domestic, visit Agra to see the Mughal splendor, built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Travel to Agra
