The magnificent palace-city was founded by Emperor Akbar in 1569 so as to shift his capital in Agra around the camp of Sufi Saint Shaikh Salim Chishti. The construction of the city was planned along the Persian principles, however assimilating some regional architectural influences. It was accomplished after 15 years of non-stop labour, however, only to be vacated forever in 1585 due to the paucity of water as well as proximity to Rajputana territories. The popular architectural features of the palace-city complex include the Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khaas, Naubat Khana, Ibadat Khana, Panch Mahal and Birbal's house.

Taj Mahal
06:00 AM: You visit Taj Mahal during Sunrise. Globally admired for its superlative symmetry, the Taj Mahal in Agra is also observed as a symbol of undying love that a man had for a woman. As legend has it, the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned this utmost exquisite hand-made mausoleum in 1632 to commemorate his much-adored chief consort Mumtaz Mahal, upon most unfortunately losing her to complications during the birth of their 14th child a year earlier. It took the non-stop labour of 20,000 workers for 22 years to build this masterpiece of symmetry combining elements of Persian, Indian and Islamic architectural styles in perfect harmony. Interestingly, the task force also comprised of 1000 elephants, which were used to transport a large number of precious stones (like crystal, sapphire, jade, turquoise, lapis, lazuli, diamonds etc.) and corals from Afghanistan, China, Persia, Sri Lanka and Tibet. The construction of the Taj finally came to a close in 1653.
