Day 14 : Bharatpur- Fatehpur Sikri - Agra (Red fort and Taj Mahal).
Badal Singh established the city of Taj in 1475. Agra finds mention in the
Mahabharat as Agraban. This city in those days was considered to be the
sister-city of Mathura, which was more prominent than Agraban. Agra came
into its own when the Lodhi Kings chose this place beside the RIVER YAMUNA
to be their capital city. Sikander Lodhi made Agra his capital but Babar
defeated the Lodhis to capture not only Agra but also laid the foundation
of the Mughal empire.
The coming of Babar heralded a new era, which was to see Agra at its
zenith during the reign of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. It was during
Akbar's period that Agra became the center of art, culture and commerce
and learning. This trend reached its height when Shah Jahan became the
ruler.
In the Mid 16th century and earlier 17th century Agra witnessed a
frenzied building activity and it was during this time when the symbol of
love Taj Mahal was built. The buildings made during this era were purely
in the contemporary Mughal style and of very high quality. The same is
still reflected in whatever monuments remain in Agra. The narrow lanes of
Agra filled with aroma of Mughlai cuisine, the craftsman who are busy in
crating master pieces with their skill all remind of the Mughal royalty
which this city had once experienced. Today whatever remains, has become a
major tourist attraction which has taken Agra again to the heights of
glory but this time as a major tourist destination of India.
Proceed for sightseeing.
TAJ MAHAL - one of the Seven Wonders of the World was
built by Shah Jahan in 1631 AD and was completed in 1651AD. Taj Mahal -
The symbol of Love was built in the memory of Mumtaz Mahal (Shah Jahan' s
second Wife).
AGRA FORT - Built by the famed Mughal emperor Akbar in
1565 AD, the fort is predominantly of red sandstone. Ensconced within is
the picture perfect Pearl Mosque, which is a major tourist attraction.
Train to Delhi at 6.35 pm
Day 15 : Full day in Delhi. Shopping, visit and relax.
