Agra is home to several Mughal era
monuments, particularly Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. These three
monuments are UNESCO World Heritage sites and are major tourist attractions.
Though tourism in Agra revolves around world famous Taj Mahal but there are
several places to visit in Agra. Major highlights
of Agra can be explored on a One Day Agra Tour Packages .
If a tourist has ample time and keen
interest in exploring various facets of an erstwhile Mughal capital city, there
are several things to do in Agra. Perhaps, you want
to try out one of the famed Golden Triangle Tour Packages on your
holiday this time? If you don’t have much time to spare, but would still like
to breathe a different air, it might be a good idea to take a Delhi-Agra-Jaipur Tour? Not only is it
full of historic sites, but there’re also other things you can see and do here.
If you’ve already visited Delhi, you
could confine your trip to just Agra and Jaipur and do both places extensively.
In that case, an agra-jaipur
tour would be just fine for a few days. If this sounds like your
holiday, may we suggest a few must spots for you in Agra?
Apart from the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, there are other lesser-known historic sites that will blow
your mind. For instance, how about visiting these sites?
Tomb of Mariam
Mariam-uz-Zamani was the Queen
consort of Emperor Akbar and the mother of Emperor Jahangir. Her mausoleum,
built by Emperor Jahangir in memory of his mother can be seen in a suburb of
Agra called Sikandara.
Chini Ka Rauza
Chini Ka Rauza is the tomb of
Emperor Shah Jahan’s prime minister, Allama Afzal Khan. This monument contains
all the items related to a funeral and is situated on River Yamuna’s eastern
bank. The word ‘Chini’ refers to Chinese and ‘Rauza’ stands for ‘tomb’.
It was built between 1628 and 1639, using Indo-Persian architectural styles. It
is known for its superb use of glazed tiles.
Dayal Bagh
Dayal Bagh or "Garden of the Merciful" is a self-contained
colony in Agra. Here, the inhabitants lead an extremely disciplined, active and
cooperative life, adhering to spiritual tenets of their faith. The Radhasoami
faith has its headquarters here where the Dayal Bagh sect also lives.
Adjacent to the Soami Bagh is the
tomb of Swamiji Maharaj, the founder of the Radhasoami faith. It is built
entirely in white marble and has elegant pietra dura inlaid on its interior
walls.
Mehtab Bagh
North of the famed Taj Mahal and
facing the Agra Fort and River Yamuna, the Mehtab Bagh is an extremely scenic spot Agra boasts of. It is also
called the Moonlight Garden. It was the last of the 11 Mughal gardens built on
similar lines on the banks of the Yamuna.
