Overnight Trip to Agra from Delhi You must see the Taj Mahal at least once in your lifetime--to feel the cool white marble, see the intricate inlay work and awe- inspiring architecture, to smell the fragrant gardens, to know the meaning of true love. Well, the Taj Mahal is more accessible than you think! Only a short drive from India's captial of New Delhi, the Taj Mahal, along with Agra's other monuments and sites, becomes a memorable addition to any vacation. Itinerary You can begin this tour on any date you choose! Please note: The Taj Mahal is closed to the public on Fridays. Day 1 - Explore the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort Your chauffeur greets you at your hotel in Delhi this morning. A luxury car, stocked with plenty of amenities to add comfort to your journey, awaits to drive you to Agra (about 4 hours). Upon arrival in Agra, transfer to a luxury hotel for lunch (guests' own account) to revive and refresh and then proceed to the Taj Mahal. Arrive at the Taj Mahal where your knowledgeable guide is ready to tell you the magnificent history behind this Wonder of the World. You have time to stroll through the gardens, sit on the steps and absorb these fabulous surroundings to your heart's content. Depart the Taj Mahal and take a half day tour of Agra, visiting the Agra Fort and the city bazaar before returning to the hotel for your overnight stay. Day 2 - Sightseeing of Agra and Fatehpur Sikri Early this morning, enjoy an unforgettable sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. Return to the hotel for breakfast before departing by road back to Delhi, visiting Fatehpur Sikri en route. This now-abandoned palatial complex was once a majestic fortress and served as the capital of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar. Your local guide shares his/her knowledge with you to explain its rise and downfall. Upon arrival in Delhi, transfer to your hotel or to the airport for your onward journey. Destination Information Agra Agra, which lies on the west bank of river Jamuna, became one of the principal cities of the Mughal Empire, as the capital of the Emperor Shah Jahan and his beautiful Queen Mumtaz Mahal. Its beautiful monuments and the rich presence of color and harmony make it a place worth visiting at least once. But the most important of Agra's tourist attractions and its main claim to fame is the magnificent Taj Mahal, the pride of India. Taj Mahal is considered as one of the eight wonders of the world. The architecture alone has inspired reams of rapture over the years. Other tourist attractions in Agra include the Rambagh and Dayalbagh Gardens, Chini ka Rauza, and Jama Masjid. Agra Red Fort, an elegant military structure constructed by Akbar (but partially converted into a palace by Shah Jahan), gives you a feel of Agra's rich past. Fatehpur Sikri Ah Taj! Overnight Trip to Agra from Delhi(© www.palacetours.com) 1/6 The royal city at Fatehpur Sikri, situated 26 miles west of Agra, was built at the orders of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. It is predominately built in red sandstone. The Emperor buildt a magnificent city as an act of gratitude to a saint, made it the capital of his empire, and then, due to the shortage of water supply, the pristine complex was abandoned. This deserted city has two complexes. The first has the royal enclosure of the palaces and the official buildings. And the second dargah of a Sufi saint, with a mosque and a lofty gateway. New Delhi The national capital territory of Delhi is situated between the Himalayas and Aravalis Ranges in the heart of the Indian sub-continent. Delhi is considered one of the most historic capitals in the world, and two of its monuments — the Qutab Minar and Humayun's Tomb — have been declared World Heritage Sites. Exploring Delhi is both rewarding and fascinating. The most visited places in Delhi include the majestic Red Fort, the historical Chandni Chowk, as well as Raj Ghat and Shanti Vana -- modern structures constructed after India's Independence in 1947. The city was built and destroyed seven times and has been witness to the various events which have brought India through the history books. It is believed that the Pandavas, the heroes of the epic Mahabharata, originally founded Delhi (then called Indraprastha) around 1200 B.C. Present day Delhi is built around the ruins of seven ancient cities. As a commercial hub, Delhi has many shopping areas to offer its tourists. Visit the upscale avenues of Connaught Place, or go to Delhi Haat for handicraft goods.

    IJERSS Volume 1 | Issue 3 March 2014 Research Paper REGENERATION OF TRADITIONAL MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE AT YAMUNA RIVER FRONT, KeyWords : Mughal, Traditional AGRA Architecture, Architectural Identity , Preservation Mohd Khalid Hasan Department of Architecture, Z.H. College Engineering & Technology,Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India ABSTRACT India has been the home of many civilizations throughout the centuries and is loaded with substantial cultural and traditional accumulation. Settlements in different regions of India are the most significant indicators of this accumulation. These civilizations developed a strong traditional architectural heritage over a period of time in different parts of India and Mughal Architecture is one of them. This traditional architecture is being seriously threatened by the outpouring of modern ideas and space-age technology. The dilution effects are most visible i.e. the import of modern materials, the dependence on modern technology, / ignorance of traditional architecture and the shrinking number of artisans have all contributed to the deterioration of our traditional building styles and practices. To maintain our sovereign and independent identity one must sense the danger of losing traditional values and culture and right steps to be taken to preserve and promote the distinctive identity. This paper would be high lighting traditional architecture developed along the Yamuna River during Mughal period and the site can be regenerated to preserve the glory of past Mughal traditional architecture. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Traditional Architecture of Mughal period in India is a pattern of resource that was developed in response to various factors to meet human needs of the time.

  • A Case Study of Agra
    TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 6, Number 2, Autumn 2011, pp. 139-158 UDC: 338.48+640(050) ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF AGRA Surabhi Srivastava1 University of Lucknow Tourism in its broadest generic sense can do more to develop understanding among the people, provide jobs, create foreign exchange and raise living standards than any other economic force. India is world famous for the city of Taj -Agra. There are a number of other tourists attractions like Agra Fort, Itmad-ud- daula's tomb, Bharatpur Sanctuary, Sikandara, Fatehpur Sikri etc which have equal historical and architectural significance but tourists are not aware of about all these places and monuments. The focus of this paper is on the economic benefits accruing to the state byway of tourist's arrivals to Agra. Though Agra receives maximum number of tourists but except Taj Mahal they are not aware about other monuments. This study will evaluate the reasons of lacking in economic benefits from tourism and also analyse the tourist’ problems facing at Agra. Key Words: Economic, Potential, Tourism, Agra, Taj Mahal. JEL Classification: L83, M1, O1 INTRODUCTION Tourism is a field of human activity known to mankind from time immemorial. It cuts across barriers of caste, colour, creed and builds universal brotherhood. The world's oldest industry is also one of the largest and fastest growing industries today. In general terms travel is referred to any movement of one or more people from one point to another. There is not much difference between tourism and travel; in general both terms are used as synonyms (Nanthakumar et al, 2008).

In the historical part of it, I have omitted unimportant names and dates, and only attempted to give such a sketch of the personality of the greatest of the Great Moguls, and of the times in which they lived, as is necessary for an apprecia- tion of the wonderful monuments they left behind them. India is the only part of the British Empire where art is still a living reality, a portion of the people's spiritual possessions. We, in our ignorance and affectation of superiority, make efforts to improve it with Western ideas ; but, so far, have only succeeded in doing it incalculable harm. It would be wiser if we would first attempt to understand it. Among many works to which I owe valuable information, I should name especially Erskine's vi Preface ; translation of Babar's " Memoirs " Muhammad ; Latif's " Agra, Historical and Descriptive " and Edmund Smith's " Fatehpur-Sikri."
