Taj Mahal An immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, the Taj Mahal is the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. Sunrise is by far the best time to visit the Taj Mahal. Not just because the early morning light turns the dome of the temple a soft, golden color, but because this is the time when there are the least amount of tourists, and if you get in early enough, you might even get some perfect portraits with no people in them. There’s also something magical about watching the sunrise behind the Taj Mahal, a building that symbolizes one of the greatest true love stories ever told. I’m sure other times of day can be nice too, and if you’re traveling to the Taj Mahal with kids, for example, getting up at the crack of dawn might not be an option.

The fort is separated from its sister monument, the Taj Mahal, by just 2.6 kilometers. Often described as a walled city, Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the fort is a major tourist spot and attracts many tourists from all over the world. Agra Fort is known for its rich history.

Baby Taj or Itimad-ud-Daulah is a tomb that was built by the mother of Shah Jahan. It has a very delicate architectural beauty. The marble lattice structures in this monument are the highlight. You can find exotic Persian-style gardens around the tomb.

Mehtab Bagh is a charbagh complex in Agra, North India. It lies north of the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort on the opposite side of the Yamuna River, in the flood plains. Its pretty gardens make an atmospheric place to wander with the sun setting in the background. The atmosphere is enhanced by the view of the Taj Mahal, which is aligned with the gardens here, and you can see the very beautiful view of the sunset at the Taj Mahal. After the Mughal time, this place was used as a Moonlight garden and Mehtab, meaning Moonlight.
