Places To Visit :

Taj Mahal
Love touches each one differently. And a visit to the Taj evokes mixed feelings! Of love, lost and gained! May be that is why Rabindranatha Tagore, the great Indian poet and Nobel Laureate, described the Taj Mahal as a teardrop that glistened "spotlessly bright on the cheek of time."

Everyone knows about the love story behind the making of the Taj Mahal. But if you are here for the first time, it is amazing, how you would be struck by how tall and huge it really is when you stand on the steps that lead up. Post cards and pictures deceive you. No foot wear is allowed on the monument. So make full use of this and feel the cool translucent marble beneath your feet. Leave the crowds and walk around, and dwell on the love in your life. We recommend that you come down here with your loved one/your best friend /lover /soulmate /spouse /close family. Let yourself be the typical tourist and allow one of the many photographers around to take a picture of you in such an angle that you touch the tip of the Tajmahal. The photographs are usually ready within an hour's time. Make sure you arrange the time and place to collect the photos.

Masjid
Built by Shah Jahan and dedicated to his favourite daughter Jahanara Begum, the mosque is surrounded by the crowded bazaar the best way to explore it is of course on foot.

Chini Ka Rauza
Decorated with glazed tiles, it is an ideal example of influence of Persian architecture on Mughal style. It is dedicated to poet-scholar and later the Prime Minister of Shah Jahan, Allama Afzal Khal Mullah Shukrullah of Shiraz. Chini Ka Rauza is a creation by Afzal Khan, who was a high official in the court of Shah Jahan.

Itmad-ud-daulah Makbara
Popularly known as -
Baby Taj, this is the tomb of Mirza Ghiyath Begh, who was wazir or Chief Minister in Emperor Jahangir?s court. He became a very powerful person after Emperor Jahangir married his daughter Noor Jahan. The tomb was designed by Noor Jahan and was the first Mughal building using marble inlay work.

Mariyam's Tomb
This tomb built in 1611AD in the red sandstone is a memoir of Emperor Akbar's Goan Christian wife-Mariyam. Open for the tourists from dawn to dusk.

Gardens in Agra
Ram Bagh
The Mughal love for nature can be seen at Agra in the form of Ram Bagh, one of the earliest gardens, laid by the Mughal ruler Babur, in 1528 AD. It is said to have been the resting-place of his body before it was taken away for a final burial in Kabul. It is 2 to 3 km further north of the Chini Ka rauza on the riverside and is open from sunrise to sunset.

Mehtab Bagh
Situated on the left bank of River Yamuna opposite Taj Mahal, it is basically a garden to visited especially at Night. Central to the garden was an octagonal pool that held the reflection of the Taj Mahal on a clear moonlit night, thus originating the name.
