Symbol of India Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is located on the east side of the city of Agra. It was built in 1654 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife, Mumtaz Mahal. People hailed it as the pride of India and called it one of the seven wonders of the world. Tagore said the Taj Mahal was "a tear on the cheek of eternity". Today this marvelous building has become a symbol of India.

The Taj Mahal is typically Mughal style, and the entire complex includes the vestibule, the main entrance, the Mughal garden, the main body of the mausoleum, and two mosques. The mosque is built of red sandstone with a typical white dome on top. The main purpose of building these two mosques is to maintain the balance of the entire Taj Mahal building to achieve symmetry.

The Mughal Palace Agra Fort

Agra Fort is located on a small hill on the Yamuna River on the east side of Agra City, about 3 kilometers away from the Taj Mahal. It was built in 1573 AD. Because it was built with red sandstone, it is also called the Red Fort. It is the seat of the Mughal imperial city, and it belongs to a different building from the Red Fort in Delhi. Agra Fort is a world cultural heritage and a famous tourist destination in India.

Agra Fort has the dual functions of a palace and a castle. Its appearance is majestic and its interior is magnificent. It is a typical Islamic architectural style. Although most of the buildings are in disrepair, the stone carvings and mosaics on the walls are still exquisite. It is a representative work of the peak period of Indian Islamic art. There were more than 500 buildings in the ancient castle, but very few of them have been preserved.
