The story of Agra begins much earlier than the Taj. However, it finds mention in the epic Mahabharata when it was called Agrabana or Paradise. Ptolemy, the famous 2nd century AD geographer marked it on his map of the world as Agra. It was the Mughals who finally nurtured Agra with the finest monuments architects could design : the Taj Mahal of Shah Jahan, Red Fort of Akbar, Itmad-ud-Daulah and neighboring Sikandra are but few of the many that spangle the city, each of which stands in mute testimony to the city's grandeur over the ages. Agra, an educational and business centre too, is known for its craftsmen and handicrafts. Marble and soft stone inlay work, zari work, carpet and leather goods are some important traditional crafts of the city. ________________________________________ Taj Mahal Taj Mahal is not just beautiful art and fine architecture, but a memorial to love and faith. It is a sublime experience of the greatest love story ever told. The Taj has been a visual delight for viewers over the ages. The serene beauty and pristine purity of this famed splendor leaves abiding impression on the beholder's mind. The Taj is a joy forever and for any imaginative visitor a rare experience. For the foreign travelers, Taj symbolizes India. Designed like a palace and finished like a jewel. Pure, gloriously perfect and superbly lovely. Set amidst landscaped gardens and backed by a turquoise sky. Like a jewel, the Taj sparkles in moonlight when the semi-precious stones inlaid into the white marble on the main mausoleum catch the glow of the moon. Becomes soft pinkish during the dawn and as the day fades away it reflects the fiery tints of the setting sun. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of a woman. The Taj Mahal is indeed a flawless gem, a timeless wonder, the last and the greatest architectural flowering of the Mughal period in Agra . Open : Saturday to Thursday.
