AGRA

This immortal poem in white marble is the finest expression of undying love of Emperor Shajahan's love for his queen. He made immortal not only her and himself but the spirit of love which transcends across the world. "Love never dies. It's immortal." The Taj Mahal, 3 km from the Mall, is on the bank of the river Yamuna. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the undying memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal in 1631

FATEHPUR SIKRI

Fatehpur Sikri came into being four centuries ago when Emperor Akbar, not yet 28 years old, set out to build the first planned city in Indo-lslamic architecture. By 1568, Akbar had secured his empire but his only grief was that he had no son and heir. His search for blessings for the birth of a successor brought him to the Sufi mystic Salim Chishti, who lived, in Sikri village. The saint prophesied the birth of three sons and soon Prince Salim, who later became Emperor Jehangir, was born. To express his gratitude Akbar decided to build imperial residences in Sikri, which would function as a joint capital with Agra. He also named the new city as Fatehpur Sikri.
