SIGHTSEEINGS AGRA Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal .?'Crown Of The Palace' Is An Ivory-White Marble Mausoleum On The South Bank Of The Yamuna River In The Indian City Of Agra. It Was Commissioned In 1632 By The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (Reigned From 1628 To 1658) To House The Tomb Of His Favourite Wife, Mumtaz Mahal; It Also Houses The Tomb Of Shah Jahan Himself. The Tomb Is The Centrepiece Of A 17-Hectare (42-Acre) Complex, Which Includes A Mosque And A Guest House, And Is Set In Formal Gardens Bounded On Three Sides By A Crenellated Wall. Construction Of The Mausoleum Was Essentially Completed In 1643, But Work Continued On Other Phases Of The Project For Another 10 Years. The Taj Mahal Complex Is Believed To Have Been Completed In Its Entirety In 1653 At A Cost Estimated At The Time To Be Around 32 Million Rupees, Which In 2020 Would Be Approximately 70 Billion Rupees (About U.S. $916 Million). The Construction Project Employed Some 20,000 Artisans Under The Guidance Of A Board Of Architects Led By The Court Architect To The Emperor, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The Taj Mahal Was Designated As A UNESCO World Heritage Site In 1983 For Being "The Jewel Of Muslim Art In India And One Of The Universally Admired Masterpieces Of The World's Heritage". It Is Regarded By Many As The Best Example Of Mughal Architecture And A Symbol Of India's Rich History. The Taj Mahal Attracts 7–8 Million Visitors A Year And In 2007, It Was Declared A Winner Of The New7Wonders Of The World (2000–2007) Initiative. AGRA Mughal Emperor Akbar Akbar Has A Luxurious Life And Selected A Suitable Site For It. After The Death Of, Akbar's Son Jahangir Completed The Construction In 1605–1613. It Cost 1,500,000 Rupees To Built And Took 3 Or 4 Years To Complete. During The Reign Of Aurangzeb, Jats Rose In Rebellion Under The Leadership Of Raja Ram Jat. Mughal Prestige Suffered A Blow When Jats Ransacked Akbar's Tomb, Plundering And Looting The Gold, Jewels, Silver And Carpets. According To One Account, Even Akbar's Grave Was Opened And His Bones Burned. As Viceroy Of India, George Curzon Directed Extensive Repairs And Restoration Of Akbar's Mausoleum, Which Were Completed In 1905. Curzon Discussed Restoration Of The Mausoleum And Other Historical Buildings In Agra In Connection With The Passage Of The Ancient Monuments Preservation Act In 1904, When He Described The Project As "An Offering Of Reverence To The Past And A Gift Of Recovered Beauty To The Future". This Preservation Project May Have Discouraged Veneration Of The Mausoleum By Pilgrims And People Living Nearby. Akbar Tomb Is Located At Sikandra, In The Suburbs Of Agra, On The Mathura Road (NH2), 8 Km West-Northwest Of The City Center. About 1 Km Away From The Tomb, Lies Mariam's Tomb, The Tomb Of Mariam-Uz-Zamani, Wife Of The Mughal Emperor Akbar And The Mother Of Jahangir. AGRA Buland Darwaza Akbar Has A Luxurious Life Buland Darwaza , Or The "Door Of Victory", Was Built In 1601 A.D. By Mughal Emperor Akbar The Great To Commemorate His Victory Over Gujarat. It Is The Main Entrance To The Jama Masjid At Fatehpur Sikri, Which Is 43 Km From Agra, India. Buland Darwaza Is The Highest Gateway In The World And Is An Example Of Mughal Architecture. It Displays Sophistication And Heights Of Technology In Akbar's Empire. JAIPUR Amber Fort Amer Fort Or Amber Fort Is A Fort Located In Amer, Rajasthan, India. Amer Is A Town With An Area Of 4 Square Kilometres (1.5 Sq Mi) Located 11 Kilometres (6.8 Mi) From Jaipur, The Capital Of Rajasthan. The Town Of Amer And The Amber Fort Were Originally Built By The Mairs, And Later It Was Ruled By Raja Man Singh I. Located High On A Hill, It Is The Principal Tourist Attraction In Jaipur.Amer Fort Is Known For Its Artistic Style Elements. With Its Large Ramparts And Series Of Gates And Cobbled Paths, The Fort Overlooks Maota Lake, Which Is The Main Source Of Water For The Amer Palace. JAIPUR Jal Mahal The Jal Mahal Palace Is An Architectural Showcase Of The Rajput Style Of Architecture (Common In Rajasthan) On A Grand Scale. The Building Has A Picturesque View Of The Lake Itself But Owing To Its Seclusion From Land Is Equally The Focus Of A Viewpoint From The Man Sagar Dam On The Eastern Side Of The Lake In Front Of The Backdrop Of The Surrounding Nahargarh ("Tiger-Abode") Hills. The Palace, Built-In Red Sandstone, Is A Five Storied Building, Of Which Four Floors Remain Underwater When The Lake Is Full And The Top Floor Is Exposed. One Rectangular Chhatri On The Roof Is Of The Bengal Type. The Chhatris On The Four Corners Are Octagonal. The Palace Had Suffered Subsidence In The Past And Also Partial Seepage (Plasterwork And Wall Damage Equivalent To Rising Damp) Because Of Waterlogging, Which Have Been Repaired Under A Restoration Project Of The Government Of Rajasthan. JAIPUR Hawa Mahal Hawa Mahal (English Translation: "The Palace Of Winds" Or "The Palace Of Breeze") Is A Palace In Jaipur, India. Made With The Red And Pink Sandstone, The Palace Sits On The Edge Of The City Palace, Jaipur, And Extends To The Zenana, Or Women's Chambers. The Structure Was Built In 1799 By Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, The Grandson Of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, Who Was The Founder Of Jaipur. He Was So Inspired By The Unique Structure Of Khetri Mahal That He Built This Grand And Historical Palace. It Was Designed By Lal Chand Ustad. Its Unique Five Floors Exterior Is Akin To The Honeycomb Of A Beehive With Its 953 Small Windows Called Jharokhas Decorated With Intricate Latticework. The Original Intent Of The Lattice Design Was To Allow Royal Ladies To Observe Everyday Life And Festivals Celebrated In The Street Below Without Being Seen, Since They Had To Obey The Strict Rules Of "Purdah", Which Forbade Them From Appearing In Public Without Face Coverings. This Architectural Feature Also Allowed Cool Air From The Venturi Effect To Pass Through, Thus Making The Whole Area More Pleasant During The High Temperatures In Summer. Many People See The Hawa Mahal From The Street View And Think It Is The Front Of The Palace, But In Reality It Is The Back Of That Structure. JAIPUR Jantar Mantar When Jai Singh Began Construction In Jaipur Is Unknown, But Several Instruments Had Been Built By 1728, And The Construction Of The Instruments In Jaipur Continued Until 1738. During 1735, When Construction Was At Its Peak, At Least 23. Astronomers Were Employed In Jaipur, And Due To The Changing Political Climate, Jaipur Replaced Delhi As Jai Singh's Main Observatory, And Remained Jai Singh's Central Observatory Until His Death In 1743. The Observatory Lost Support Under Isvari Singh (R.1743-1750) Because Of A Succession War Between Him And His Brother. However, Mado Singh (R. 1750-1768), Isvari Singh's Successor, Supported The Observatory, Although It Did Not See The Same Level Of Activity As Under Jai Singh. Although Some Restorations Were Made To The Jantar Mantar Under Pratap Singh (R.1778-1803), Activity At The Observatory Died Down Again. During This Time, A Temple Was Constructed, And Pratap Singh Turned The Site Of The Observatory Into A Gun Factory. BIKANER Lalgarh Palace Lalgarh Palace Is A Palace And Heritage Hotel In Bikaner In The Indian State Of Rajasthan, Built For Sir Ganga Singh, Maharaja Of Bikaner, Between 1902 And 1926.

  • 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).

  • AKBAR the GREAT Building Unity Through Inclusivity Akbar the Great
    GREATS IN GOVERNANCE AKBAR THE GREAT Building Unity Through Inclusivity Akbar the Great The title of ‘Great’ is reserved for history’s most exceptional leaders. When in 1556 Abu’l-Fath Jalal- ud-din Muhammad Akbar, a child of only 14, inherited the contested Mughal domains of the north Indian subcontinent, there was little to indicate he would go on to expand, unite and enrich such a divided realm. Over the course of his 50-year reign, Akbar built a vast multicultural empire, marked by edicts that promoted inclusivity, unity and accountability. Akbar’s unprecedented fiscal, administrative and cultural reforms bore the hallmarks of a great and visionary leader. Akbar the Great Building Unity Through Inclusivity December 2019 This illustration depicts an attempt on the life of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r.1556–1605) at Delhi in 1564. Akbar is shown in white on horseback clutching an arrow. His retainers pursue the would-be assassins and kill one of them. GREATS IN GOVERNANCE Early Threats, Later Greatness he year is 1564, the young 22-year old Emperor Akbar rides on horseback through Delhi, returning from a visit to a local shrine. Suddenly the air is T pierced by screams of panic and horror. An arrow has struck the right shoulder of the Mughal Emperor - an attempt is being made to assassinate him. Guards scramble through the stalls and shops of the surrounding bazaar in their search for the culprit. In minutes, the man who shot the arrow from the balcony of a nearby madrasa is caught and executed before the wounded emperor.

Despite being well-known and universally cherished as indicated by the Taj Mahal’s recognition as a UNESCO world heritage monument and as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, there is insufficient research directed towards the inscription program specifically.
