MONUMENTS AND SIGHT SEEING SPOTS

Taj Mahal
The Taj stands as the symbol of Love and Beauty. It is the most extravagant monument ever to be built in the name of love. It was commissioned by the emperor Shahjahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz, who died during child birth. It took 15 years for the construction to be completed and around 20,000 people were employed to do the work. The artisans who were involved, either had their hand or thumb amputated so that they could not construct a similar structure. The main architect was Isa Khan who is believed to have been from Iran. 
The Taj Mahal's character changes during the stretch of the day. It looks its best on full moon nights, in the morning and evening hours. There are the decorative Mughal Gardens with water in the front of the Taj, so that the beautiful Taj is reflected in it. 

Agra Fort 
This fort was built by Emperor Akbar. This massive fort on the banks of Yamuna river was primarily a military structure during Akbar's time and it was partially converted into a palace during Shahjahan's time. The walls of the fort are 20 mt high and extend over an area of 2.5 km.

Jehangir Palace 
This building was built by Akbar and is the largest residence in the fort. The building is an interesting blend of the Hindu and Asian architecture. 

Diwan-i-Am
The hall of public audience was built by Shahjahan. This is where the emperor met his officials. 

Diwan-i-Khas
The hall of private audience was built by Shahjahan. Here the emperor received important people. The famous Peacock throne was kept here. Now in the place of the throne only a marble niche is left. 

Musamman Burj
This exquisite octagonal structure stands close to Diwan-i-Khas. This is where Shahjahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangazeb. 

Jama Masjid
This Mosque was also built by Shahjahan in 1648 in the name of his daughter Jahanara, who was eventually imprisoned by Aurangazeb along with Shahjahan. 

Akbar's Mausoleum
