At best, Agra Tours India should leave
an impression that Agra, erstwhile seat of the Mughal
rulers, is the hallowed grounds for an enshrined romance
known as Tajmahal India.
Taj Mahal India is a larger-than-life
poem by Emperor Shah Jahan in white marble, which took
22 years to build and a labor force of 20,000 skilled
artisans. The marble edifice was eventually completed
in 1652.
After showcasing every nook and cranny of
the white marble edifice and its precious stones, Great
Taj Tours India and Taj Holidays India take sojourners
to the Agra Fort, which lies across the river Jamuna.

From
atop the little octagonal tower, one can get the most
sweeping view of the imposing Taj. Taj Mahal Travel
Packages defeat their purpose without a stopover at such
fort. It was built in red sandstone, hosting magnificent
palaces, halls of public and private audience and beautiful
gardens.
The fort is memorable for being the site where Emperor Shah
Jahan was kept under house arrest by his third son Aurangzeb.
Here he spent the last year of his life viewing the spectacle
of the Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal Agra Tours or
Great Taj Mahal Tours also usually allows sojourners
to pay their respects at the tomb of the Mughal Emperor
Akbar called Sikandra.
This magnificent tomb is the focal point of a vast
garden, which is enclosed by high walls on all sides.
Each enclosing wall has a monumental gateway in the
middle.
The whole garden is partitioned into four equal quarters.
A high terrace or raised path, with a narrow channel
of shallow water running at the center, separates every
quarter. Still, each terrace has a tank with fountains
in the center. |

There's a broad paved causeway leading to the tomb. Shaped like a truncated pyramid, the mausoleum rises for five storeys.
