Agra is special for domestic and international tourist and the principal reason for this being the famous Taj Mahal, an exceptional monument of love with a very famous tale behind it. The Taj of Agra is definitely a star monument but apart from Taj Mahal, one would also love to visit the famous Red fort here and from this incredible city that was once the seat of Mughal power, one would love to visit the famous Fatehpur Sikri. Agra was formerly called as Agrivana during the time of Mahabharata but in the later years, this city became the star city and attracted millions because of monument of love, Taj mahal. It is said that the emperor Shah jahan constructed this dream monument because he could not resist the death of his queen Mumtaz mahal at very young age of 39. He was in a state of shock for many days but later came out with the idea of Taj mahal, a monument the world will remember for life.
One would love to eat the Mughlai cuisines at the various eating spots of the city of Agra and from Delhi; it is just 4 hours journey by train. The three principal centers of heritage of Agra are Taj, Red fort Agra and Fatehpur Sikri and all these are in the UNESCO world heritage sites. It took 22 years to build Taj and the finest marble came from the different parts of India and world for building this monument.
