Agra

Agra was once the capital of the Mughal empire and even today it seems to linger in the past. Not surprising, for the Mughal emperors with their passion for building, endowed the city with some of the finest structures in the world. It is very easy to slip away here through the centuries into the grandeur and intrigues of the Mugal court.

Agra is an old city and it is said that its name was derived from Agrabana, a forest that finds mention in the epic Mahabharata. In more recent times Agra came into prominence when Sikandar Lodi made it his capital city in 1501. The Lodi rule was to end very soon and Agra passed into the possession of the Mughals. It was during the time of the third emperor Akbar that Agra came into its own. He embarked on the construction of the massive Agra Fort in 1565. though Akbar was diverted into building a new capital at Fatehpur Sikri not far away, Agra continued to retain its importance and Shah Jehan, Akbar's grandson ornamented the city with the masterpiece of Mughal architecture – the Taj Mahal and build several other beautiful buildings within Agra city.
