Agra Packages - A City Soaked In Culture By: Rashmiranjan Patil
Situated on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, Agra, the erstwhile capital of Hindustan is famous for its heritage tourism.

This magnificent mausoleum is built out of pure white marble and is the star attraction of the city. Tourists from all over the world flock to see this beautiful monument whose beauty is enhanced by blooming gardens with a myriad of flowers and shady trees and aesthetically designed waterways that culminate in magnificent fountains. Incorporating architectural designs from Turkish, Persian and Indian styles, the Taj Mahal was constructed over a period of 20 years employing thousands of artisans, craftsmen and other skilled labourers. Taj Mahal though mostly recognised by the white domed marble mausoleum comprises of many intricately designed structures that together add to the beauty of this famous monument.
Apart from the Taj Mahal, Agra is also home to several magnificent palaces, forts and gardens that were built by the Mughal emperors.
