Highlights
  • Taj Mahal - Next, we travel to Agra, home to the magnificent Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Witness the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece at sunrise, as the soft golden rays illuminate its ethereal beauty. Explore the majestic Agra Fort, an imposing structure that reveals the opulence and power of the Mughal Empire. End the day with a visit to the enchanting gardens of Mehtab Bagh, offering breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal.
  • Agra Fort - Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century and served as both a military base and a royal residence for the Mughal rulers until 163812. The fort is made of red sandstone and has a circumference of about 1.5 miles (2.5 km), a height of 70 feet (21 metres), and a moat31. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is connected to the Taj Mahal by a swath of parkland and gardens31.
  • Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah - I think you meant Itmad-ud-Daula tomb history. Here is a brief summary of what I found:

Itmad-ud-Daula tomb is a Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India, built by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who was also known as Itmad-ud-Daula (pillar of the state)12. He was a Persian noble who rose to the position of chief minister in Akbar’s court23. He was also the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan and the inspiration for the Taj Mahal12.

The tomb is often called the Baby Taj or the Jewel Box because of its resemblance to a smaller version of the Taj Mahal and its exquisite decoration with semi-precious stones124. It is considered the first Mughal structure made entirely of white marble and one of the finest examples of pietra dura inlay work23. It is also regarded as a transition between the red sandstone architecture of Akbar and the white marble architecture of Shah Jahan12.
