Its been end of the winter season in Delhi, i thought of going for a visit to see Taj Mahal at Agra.
The nearby places and roads leading to Taj Mahal doesnt give a bright picture and i couldnt imagine that such an architectural wonder can lie inside such a terrain. The full structure is build using Marble and it is said that the structure was constructed by Mugul king Shajahan in remeberence to his beloved wife Mumtaz. The main craftsmans hand was ambuted by the ruler so that he will not build a similar structure yet again.
The main structure is bordered by 4 diagonally opposite pillars and these pillars surrong the main Minar. The structure has an awesome look from a long shot. Its build near the showers of Yamuna river. Although the river is almost dried up now.
Nearby the Taj Mahal lies the Fort of agra. Again lot of architectural intricacies lie in this structure too. It proclaims how wealthy the mugal emberor was and how skilled where the then
craftsman.
There is a particular kind of sweet called "Agra ka peda" available here. Someone told me that this sweet is made using cucumber.
