Agra is famous as being home to one of the seven wonders of the world-the Taj
Mahal. The architectural splendour of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces
is a vivid remainder of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vivid
reminder of the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries.
While its significance as a political centre ended with the transfer of the
capital to Delhi in 1634 by Shah Jahan, its architectural wealth has secured
its place on the international map.
A pleasant town with comparatively slow pace, Agra is known for its superb
inlay work on marble and soastone by craftsman who are descendant of those
who worked under the Mughals. The city is also famous for its carpets, gold
thread embroidery and leather shoes.
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 Mughal 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.
