Agra - the City of Taj
Agra, the city of Taj Mahal is one of the famed cities of India. Once the capital of the Mughal Empire, Agra houses one of world's most spectacular monument - Taj Mahal.

The history of Agra is much more older than the times of Mughals. Agra is referred as 'Agraban' in the the great Hindu epic 'Mahabharat', an integral part of the Brij Bhumi or the land of Lord Krishna. It is claimed that this was the region of Agra. However, it was during the reign of Raja Badal Singh in 1475, that the city is known to be discovered. The Mughal rule had transformed the land into one of the great centres of art, culture, learning and commerce. Magnificent monuments in majestic work of art and architecture are still flourishing with arts and crafts including leather work and pietra dura marble-inlay work. The delicious Mughal cuisine have now become an integral part of Agra.
