Fatehpur Sikri was the first meticulously planned city of the Mughals, boasting an impressive array of administrative, residential, and religious buildings. These included palaces for royalty and their courtiers; public buildings such as mosques; and living quarters for both the king’s army and servants. In its entirety, it is a remarkable example of urban design from this era.
Because of its historical importance as the capital of the Mughal Empire and its outstanding architecture, Fatehpur Sikri was awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986
The Taj Mahal is a symbol of India’s grandeur and has been recognized as one of the world’s most celebrated masterpieces. In 1983, it was officially designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding Mughal architecture and cultural significance. It stands today as an iconic representation of India’s rich history and culture.
The iconic Taj Mahal was constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 AD and finished sixteen years later, with the mosque, guest house and main gateway located on the south side being completed first before additional features such as its outer courtyard and cloisters were added between 1648-1653 AD.
Agra Fort is an iconic historical fort located in the city of Agra, India. It was the main residence of Mughal emperors until 1638 when the capital moved from Agra to Delhi. This remarkable monument has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and stands at about 2.5 km northwest of its more renowned sister monument, Taj Mahal.
Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden) was constructed by Emperor Babur in the early 16th century. This garden is renowned for its perfect alignment with that of the Taj Mahal, and it gained fame as a “moonlit pleasure garden” when Shah Jahan chose this site to admire his mausoleum from afar.
These gardens are today called the Mehtab Bagh gardens and this is the favorite spot for the sunset view of the Taj Mahal.
After exploring all the wonders of Agra, it’s time to head back to Jaipur. The journey takes about 5 hours by car. So sit back and relax as you make your way from one incredible city to another.
