There are not many places in the world that command the kind of respect and popularity as Agra does. The Taj Mahal may have added a different perspective to the place but it was a destination favoured by the kings and nobles of the Mughal era. Akbar, the most renowned and respected of all the Mughal emperors ruled the India of yore for the ramparts of the Red Fort of Agra. In fact Agra was the base for most of the Mughal rulers.

Since, Agra was capital of undivided India and that too for quite a long period; the immense wealth of architectural heritage it has is mind boggling. One look at the world famous Taj Mahal and you are overwhelmed by the very presence of it. The way it has been designed, the meticulous planning that underwent and the time that took to build such a master piece is nothing but a miracle considering the age – more than 300 years ago – when it was completed.

This is the power and influence that this monument has on the psyche of people. A write-up that should have taken a holistic view of Agra as a destination has this danger of becoming a piece on the Taj Mahal. Some one rightly said, you can take Agra out of the Taj Mahal but you cannot take the Taj Mahal out of Agra. - hide more about Agra
