A tour of Agra will be very enriching and unforgettable for you thanks to its timeless attractions. The long history of Agra is mentioned in the ancient poem Mahabharata. However, modern Agra was founded by Sikander Lodhi of the Lodhi dynasty, who ruled Delhi in the 16th century. It later became the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1526 to 1658. It was the golden age of Agra as most of its magnificent historical structures were built during this phase. Agra has the best examples of Mughal architectural style which was a mix of Indian and Islamic styles. In addition to the Taj Mahal, the nearby Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Rajput rulers built the Agra Fort, which was later renovated by the Mughal emperors Akbar and Shah Jahan. The golden age of Agra began to wane when Shajahan moved his capital to Shahjahanabad in Delhi. And today Agra is India's second tier known for its tourist activities.
