The Taj Mahal Mosque

The mosque's basic design of a long hall surmounted by three domes is similar to others built by Shah Jahan.

Outside the walls are several additional mausoleums, including those of Shah Jahan's other wives, and a larger tomb for Mumtaz's favourite servant.

Say “Agra” and the first image that flashes in your mind is the mesmerizing Taj Mahal.

The Taj is undoubtedly Agra’s crowning glory but not the only gem in the crown. Agra is home to some of India’s greatest monuments, which are living proof of the path-breaking art and architectural progress made by the Mughal emperors in the middle Ages.

A favourite destination for both domestic and foreign tourists, Agra attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
