My Visit to Memorable City of Agra

Here I am supposed to write for informative article, so I choose to give imformation about. 'Taj Mahal' is as beautiful as its name and is situated on the left bank of the river "Yamuna" in Agra. Agra was established by Sikandar Lodhi but Taj Mahal is build later on after lodhi dynasty. Great Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan build "Taj Mahal" in the memory of his beautiful wife Mumtaj Mahal. There are four minars in the surroundings of Taj, made up of pure white sandstone, we also know it by the name of Marble. Taj looks enormously beautiful in the full moon light. One of the architectural feature of Mughal Dynasty is the great 'Agra Quila' or Agra Fort made by Akbar. It is a worth seeing architectural build up in Agra and is made up of red sandstone. There is a place near Agra named as Fatehpur-Sikri, where we can see the 'Buland Darwaza'. Buland Darwaja is also build by Akbar after his Gujarat victory. In Fatehpur Sikri we can shop around where cultural and ethnic wears like suits, shawls, carpets are easily available. For instance, I bought some shawls, chappals from there. I enjoyed a lot in Agra city. Agra is full with our historical 'culture', traditions, customs. Whole detailing of my experience is not possible here, so I have given very little informative line about that place. But I'm sure that after reading this article, image of Taj Mahal might clicked in your mind at least for once.
