Agra, located in Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the Yamuna River, is one of India’s most famous tourist destinations, globally renowned for the magnificent Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Agra was the seat of the Mughal Empire for a long time, and its architectural heritage reflects Mughal grandeur and artistic excellence.

Some must-visit monuments in Agra include:-
Taj Mahal :- Sculpted from moon-kissed marble and enshrined in imperial longing, this celestial tomb was conjured into existence by Shah Jahan for his beloved Mumtaz Mahal. Its very form breathes sorrow and grandeur a like—like a tear frozen in stone.

Agra Fort :- This formidable bastion of carmine sandstone exudes an aura of imperial vigilance. Once a citadel of Mughal sovereignty, its ramparts shelter a labyrinth of palaces, halls, and secretive corridors steeped in regal intrigue.

Fatehpur Sikri :- A mirage-like metropolis of red sandstone sprawled some 40 kilometers from Agra’s pulse, Fatehpur Sikri is an ode to Akbar’s vision. Within its skeletal splendor lie palatial wonders and mosques that whisper legends into the wind—a city abandoned, yet timeless.

Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah:- Poignantly dubbed the “Baby Taj,” this jewel-box mausoleum mirrors the finesse of its grander kin. Crafted in delicate pietra dura, it heralds the early whispers of Mughal marble artistry with an elegance that belies its modesty.

Mehtab Bagh :- This riverside Eden lies like a painter’s afterthought—a garden carved in symmetry across the Yamuna, gazing eternally at the Taj. As twilight bleeds across the sky, the garden transforms into a canvas where the monument glows like a dream caught between dusk and desire.
