Taj Mahal
TAJ MAHAL INDIAThe Taj Mahal is situated more than 900 ft. (275 m.) away from the
entrance at the opposite end of the garden. Towering almost 200 ft.
(76m.) in height, the tomb stands on its own marble plinth, which rests
on a red sandstone platform that serves to level the land as it slopes
to the river. Four tall minarets rise up from the corners of the white
marble plinth. They taper to a majestic height of 138 ft and are crowned
with eight windowed cupolas. Apart from being great builders, the Mughals were also known as great
food connoisseurs. Almost every Mughal emperor has passed on his personal
recipe as he moved along the passage of time, which is known as Mughlai
food. This is why, perhaps, the influence of the Mughals is most felt
in their food. To get the real taste of authentic Mughlai cuisine or
the cuisine of Agra, one need to travel to Agra. The city of Agra is world famous for the Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal
emperor Shahjahan in memory of his beloved wife. However, it is also
famous for the Agra Fort, which is a veritable treasure trove of the
Mughal architectural tradition. The various buildings within this sprawling
fort complex represent the assimilation of different cultures, which
was the mark of the Mughal period. Agra is situated on the banks of the Yamuna river and it was the capital of India at the time of the Mughals in the 16th and 17th centuries. On a city tour of Agra you will visit the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Itimad Ud Daulah Arrive Delhi. You will be met on arrival and transferred to your hotel where room is held on immediate occupancy. Full day combined sightseeing tour of Old & New Delhi. Overnight at hotel. It is believed that Delhi has been rebuilt seven times with the ruins of one city becoming the foundations for the next. The Mughals ruled here from 12th century. The British captured it in 1803 reducing the Mughal rulers to puppet kings, and in 1911 founded New Delhi, which became the capital of independent India in 1947. The sun warmed stones of ancient forts, tombs, mosques and palaces lie scattered across its sprawling expanse, a reminder of an almost continuous settlement along the Yamuna River. AKBAR'S TOMB - A MAGNIFICENT MAUSOLEUM Akbar's tomb at Sikandra is an excellent example of assimilation of
different styles of architecture and it represents a significant departure
from the earlier Mughal buildings. The tomb carries the characteristic
flavor of the airy tiered pavilions of the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.
Dashaswamedha Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Panch Ganga Ghat, Harishchandra Ghat, Tulsi Ghat, Munshi Ghat, as also Durga Temple, Bharatmata Temple, and Banaras Hindu University, Khajuraho, Western Group of Temples: Mahadeo Temple, Devi Jagdamba Temple, Chitragupta or Bharatji's Temple, Vishwanath Temple and Lakshman Temple and much more The glory of the monument is strangely undiminished by the crowds of
tourists who visit each day, as small and insignificant as ants in the
face of this immense and captivating monument. That said, the Taj is
at its most alluring in the relative quiet of early morning, shrouded
in mists and bathed with a soft red glow. As its vast marble surfaces
fall into shadow or reflect the sun, its colour changes, from soft grey
and yellow to pearly cream and dazzling white; it's well worth visiting
at different times. This play of light is an important decorative device,
symbolically implying the presence of Allah, who is never represented
in anthropomorphic form. DELHI AGRA JAIPUR TOUR PACKAGE The three most beautiful and center of art and architectural structural cities of India.

En-route stop at Fatehpur Sikri. Overnight at the hotel Samode Haveli (Heritage) for two nights (Std Rm). In 1596 Akbar built Fatehpur Sikri, 37 kms away from Agra, in honour of Saint Salim Chisti who had prophesied the birth of his son Jehangir. He moved his capital there but abandoned it 14 years later, due to the water supply going bad. Lying on a rocky ridge two miles long and one mile wide it is an epic poem in red sandstone with impressive public halls, private residences, fortifications, massive gateway, pavilions and palaces. Jaipur is the state capital of Rajasthan and owes its name, planning and foundation to the Maharaja Jai Singh II. In 1727, Jai Singh decided to move from his hillside fortress at Amber to the plains, and thus Jaipur was conceived. It is also know as the "Pink City", derived from the pink painted sandstone from which the buildings in the old walled city are constructed. Shahjahan purchased a plot of land from Raja Jai Singh on the banks
of Yamuna River for building the Taj Mahal. Raja Jai Singh was also
instructed by Shahjahan to provide a regular supply of special, hard
and non-porous marble from the quarries of Makrana. A 2½-mile (4.02
km) road ramp was built to haul huge pieces of marble to the site of
the construction. Strangely the scaffolding of this magnificent building
was made, not of wood or bamboo, but with bricks. It is probable that
the lack of wood made the architects to make brick scaffoldings. Some European scholars held the view that the Taj was designed by an
Italian - Geronimo Veroneo. This was first suggested by Father Manrique,
an Augustinian Friar, who came to Agra in 1640 A.D. to secure the release
of Father Antony who had been imprisoned by the Mughals. It was in Lahore
that he met Father Joseph de Castro, the executor of Veroneo who died
at Lahore in 1640 A.D., and it was Castro who told him about "the
Venetian by the name Geronimo Veroneo who came in the Portuguese ships
and died in the city of Lahore before he reached it..." India the most beautiful and amazing land.
