with polished stones and supplied with water from Harwan

runs through the middle of the garden. The fourth

terrace, by far the best, was once reserved for royal

with the Zabarwan Mountains as its backdrop, (11 km. from TRC), this 'garden of bliss' commands a

magnificent view of the lake and the snow-capped Pir Panjal mountain range which stands far away

ago to revive Sanatan Dharma. Built on a high octagonal plinth and approached by a flight of steps

with side walls that once bore inscriptions, the main surviving shrine consists of a circular cell. It

overlooks the Valley and can be approached by a motorable road. A modern ceiling covers the inner

Construction of the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the bank of the Yamuna River was begun by

Emperor Akbar in 1565, though additions were made up until the rule of his grandson, Shah Jahan

region it has partially become Palace. The fort presents a good sampling of their favoured


architectural styles. Akbar drew on Islamic and Hindu traditions and the result is eclectic. By Shah

Jahan's time the style had become so homogenized that it is impossible to separate the Hindu and

Muslim strands. The Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) the beautiful Diwan-I-Khas (private audience

hall) were also added by Shah Jahan.

Atmad-ud-daulah's Tomb; Built between 1622 and 1628 by Empress Nur Jahan for her father,

of the Yamuna from the Taj, exhibits a strong Persian influence. Itmad-ud-Daula often describe as

Jewel Box. The Tomb of Mir Ghias Beg, Vazir (minister) of Emperor Jahangir, was built between

1622 and 1628 from red sand stone with marble decorations as Akbars tomb in Sikendra. Itmad-ud-

daula has important place in history as well as architecture. This is actually the very first tomb in
