We take you on a tour of the grandest structures of architectural brilliance in Agra. Meet your chauffeur in your hotel lobby, who will drive you to the iconic Taj Mahal. Recognized the world, over as a symbol of eternal love of an emperor for his queen, the Taj Mahal was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan for Mumtaz Mahal. This structure of white marble goodness is the most brilliant example of Mughal architecture. Such was the foresight of the architect Ustad Ahmed Lahauri that he designed the four minarets to tilt outwards to prevent them from falling on the main 'gumbaz' or dome in the event of a natural disaster, like an earthquake. Twenty-eight semi precious, rare, and precious stones sourced from India, Sri Lanka, Tibet and China were used in the inlay work of the Taj.
