Agra
Welcome to Agra
Agra, where you can visit the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal. Unfortunately, my visit will take place in pouring rain, as it is the middle of the monsoon season in this region of India.
The Red Fort offers a magnificent view of the Taj Mahal. Don't expect to see any multicolored furniture or hangings; only the red of the stone contrasts with the white marble of the interior. The architecture of the buildings is impressive.
I then visited the Taj Mahal, still in the rain, which stopped shortly after I left the gardens. The rain made it somewhat difficult for me to take my photographs, but the temperature remained mild. The Taj Mahal is made mainly of white marble. It is bordered by the Yamunâ River. The tomb inside is closed to the public. Like most visits to India, entrance fees are significantly higher for foreigners than for locals. A legendary monument of India, it is a must-see.
The Taj Mahal is an architectural masterpiece located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. This mausoleum is famous for its dazzling beauty and romantic history.
The Agra Red Fort, located in the historic city of Agra, India, is an impressive monument built of red sandstone. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565 and is considered one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture. The fort is surrounded by a 2.5 km long wall and includes several palaces, mosques, and gardens.
