A raised marble water tank at the center of the garden, halfway between the tomb and gateway with a reflecting pool on a north-south axis, reflects the image of the mausoleum.

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.
