Feel the excitement of Honeymoon with
our Honeymoon in Agra article. Enjoy your Honeymoon in Agra (City famous
for Taj Mahal).

Plunge
into the depths of your heart and feel the intense love and passion that
drove Shah Jehan to build Taj Mahal, a romantic poem in white marble and
semi-precious stones as a tribute to his lost spouse. 22 long years and
enormous amounts of money that went into its construction could not
deter this lover from hiring the best of the best talents and almost
20,000 laborers and ensuring that it becomes the most beautiful building
world has ever seen. Mumtaz Mehal, his beloved queen, had left for
another world but Shah Jehan carved an eternal place in history for both
of them by building this mausoleum at the banks of River Yamuna along
with beautiful gardens with rare flowers and plants and attractive
fountains adorning them, all around it. It is almost divine to see the
changing colors of Taj Mahal in the full moon and no-moon nights as it
casts its pearly reflection in the waters of the river.
Just imagine the turbulence and desperate longing of a lover's heart
who so moved even his hard-hearted son, Aurangzeb, that when he captured
and imprisoned Shah Jehan in the magnificent and gigantic Red Fort and
mounted the throne, he made a little allowance for his father and
allowed him to pass his last days in the area from where he could see
the Taj Mahal even while lying on his bed. As you are guided through the
Red Fort, you will see the place and can still feel the air of
desolation and loneliness that haunts the area. Sikandra, the Akbar's
mausoleum and Itmad-ud-daulah are other notable places that display the
expertise of Mughal architectural style when it was at its zenith.
