In Agra
Proceed for sightseeing of the city after breakfast.
First, proceed to TAJ MAHAL, which is just walking
distance from the hotel.
TAJ MAHAL: The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan,
built it in 1631 in the memory of his second wife,
Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while
accompanying her husband in Behrampur in a campaign to
crush a rebellion, after giving birth to their 14th
child. Her death so crushed the emperor that all his
hair and beard were said to have grown snow white in a
few months. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she
extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he
build the Taj; second, that he should marry again;
third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth,
that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept
the first and second promises. Construction began in
1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand
people were deployed to work on it. An Iranian architect
designed it and it is best appreciated when the
architecture and its adornments are linked to the
passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal
love".
Having buried her down at Behrampur, it was time for the
emperor to keep his promise and build a tomb there
itself. But by and by, it was felt that it was virtually
impossible to transfer all the marble there, as it would
cost an entire fortune and an entire lifetime. So, when
Agra was chosen as the only alternative, astonishingly
her grave was uprooted and brought to Agra, only to be
finally transferred to the monument, completed
twenty-two years later.
Proceed to Agra and visit Agra Fort- that was
built by Akbar In 1525 AD. After Agra Fort we will visit
Baby Taj - The interiors of which are considered
better than the Taj.
