The Taj was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal. It took twenty-two years and hard toil of more than twenty thousand workers to construct Taj Mahal. The beauty of the Taj Mahal is enchanting, and it reflects the marvelous beauty of architecture and richness of art of the Mughal period.
In the afternoon, visit Agra Fort, built alongside the Yamuna River stretching almost 2.5 km. The fort’s colossal double walls rise 20 m in height and surrounded by a moat. The lofty battlements of the Agra fort cast its protective shadow over the far stretching mansions of nobles and princes built along the riverfront.
Jaipur is a beautiful and deserted medieval city. Fatehpur sikri built by Akbar the Great in the 16th century to serve as the capital of his vast empire. The Mughals later abandoned this city because of lack of water. Fatehpur Sikri had a short life of splendor. Once Akbar left it in 1585, it never regained its lost importance and has remained the well-preserved ghost city of India. Abhaneri is an en-route village (Approximate 8-10 km diversion) on Jaipur route, famous for its 9th century step wells called Chand Baori.
