Taj Mahal- The Taj Mahal is the most famous monument in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble beauty took 22 years and 20,000 laborers to build. The monument changes color throughout the day, it’s pinkish at sunrise, white in the afternoon and golden under moonlight. Visitors can see the intricate marble inlay work, calligraphy and symmetrical gardens around the tomb. Every Friday entry is restricted to Muslim worshippers for prayers.
Red Fort- This massive red sandstone fort was the palace of the Mughal emperors before the capital shifted to Delhi. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565, it has beautiful palaces like Jahangir Mahal, Khas Mahal and Sheesh Mahal famous for its mirror work. The Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb, has a heart breaking view of the Taj Mahal from its windows. The fort is a mix of Persian, Hindu and Islamic architecture and is one of the best forts of its time.
Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb- Also known as the “Baby Taj” this tomb was built by Nur Jahan for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg. It was the first Mughal monument made of white marble and set the tone for the Taj Mahal. The tomb has intricate flower patterns, lattice screens and semi precious stone inlays that reflect Persian and Mughal craftsmanship. Unlike the Taj Mahal, this place is less crowded, so perfect for those who want to see Mughal architecture in peace.
Akbar’s Mausoleum- Located in Sikandra, this is the final resting place of Emperor Akbar. Unlike traditional tombs, Akbar himself designed this structure blending Persian, Rajput and Islamic architecture. The entrance gate is of red sandstone with white marble inlay work showcasing Mughal artistry. The gardens have antelopes and peacocks which are peaceful to see.
Mehtab Bagh- Across the Yamuna River, Mehtab Bagh has the best sunset view of the Taj Mahal. Built by Emperor Babur, it was meant to be the perfect reflection garden of the Taj. Historians believe Shah Jahan wanted to build a black Taj Mahal here but the project was never completed. Today it’s a quiet place to visit the Taj Mahal without the crowds.
