Departure for Agra

Jaipur to Agra via Fathepur Sikri

Breakfast at the followed by drive to Agra en route stop to visit abandoned city ofFatehpur Sikri. Fatehpur Sikri - The Imperial city of the Mughal dynasty between1571 and 1584, Fatehpur Sikri was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar. Thearchitectural grandeur of this deserted city cannot be described in words and onecan only experience the aura of its magnificent edifices by seeing them. FatehpurSikri is the most popular day excursion from Agra, the city of Taj and capital ofinvincible Mughal’s for a long time.

Today, as one enters Sikri from the Agra Gate, one of the nine gateways on the wayto the palace complex, Diwan-I-Aam, or the hall of public audience appears first. It isa huge rectangular walled-in courtyard where petitions were heard, proclamationsmade, ambassadors received and entertainment programmes held. Ponder themysterious desertion of this capital city that was dramatically abandoned a fewyears after it was built. It was a veritable fairy tale city and its 'ruins' are still in apristine condition. It is not hard to imagine what the court life must have been like inthe days of its grandeur.

After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, continue driving to Agra. Upon arrival in Agra check in& relax. At the time of the Mughals, in the 16th & 17th centuries, Agra was thecapital of the grand Mughal Empire. During this period the city became a leadingcentre of art, science, commerce and culture. Akbar the Great made Agra great.The city's origins are dim but Akbar's grandfather Babur is credited with Agra'sfounding. The short golden age of Agra came to an end with the seventeenth centuryreign of Shah Jehan, mastermind of the unforgettable Taj Mahal.

Private Tour of the Taj Mahal

The magnificent monument to love – Taj Mahal, built by an emperor in memory of hisbeloved queen. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1631, and is believed tohave taken 18 years to complete, with over 20,000 craftsmen working around theclock. The design and construction is said to be that of the legendary architect,Ustad Ahamad Lahori. Legend has it that once construction was completed, ShahJehan had Lahori's hands cut off, and blinded, so he would never be able toduplicate the structure. What makes the Taj Mahal unique is its perfect proportions,distinct femininity, medium of construction and ornamentation. Its marble exteriorreflects rose and golden tints at sunrise and sunset, while it is dazzling white duringthe day.

It is impossible to visualize the Taj Mahal in any surrounding others than itsparadoxical garden. Paradise, in Islam, is visualized as lush garden where runningstreams flow. When the Mughals brought this concept to India they elevated it to theheights of incomparable history.

Note: Taj Mahal remains closed on Fridays.
