It was during this time that the symbol of love, the Taj Mahal, was built. The buildings made during this era were purely in the contemporary Mughal style and of very high quality. The places near Taj Mahal at Agra which can be visited by the Tourists include:

Taj Mahal India Tours sparkles like a Jewel during full moonlit nights when the precious inlaid stone work of marbles on the dome catch the rays of the moon. And in the early mornings, it looks pinkish with sun rays kissing it. Taj Mahal India Tours during evening hours is quite popular as it looks amazingly lovely in milky light of moon. Taj Mahal contains the bodies of Shah Jahan and his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The story of these two lovers is an example of true and divine love.

Sikandar Lodi chose to make Agra his capital in 1501. The early Mughal emperors too ruled from Agra. Some of the monuments in this city date back to the reigns of the Mughal emperors Babur and Humayun. It was Humayun's son Akbar, who ruled from Fatehpur Sikri between 1570 and 1585 and once again from 1599 to 1605. The Panch Mahal, a five-storeyed tower, the highest point in Fatehpur Sikri.

Sikandra is the mausoleum of Akbar and is on the highway to Delhi, a little off Agra. The mausoleum complex is surrounded by a walled structure with its big arched gateway which is typically Mughal, complete with its own set of minarets and inlaid work. Inside the compound the main structure is encompassed by gardens and sprawling lawns. The main structure is quite big and mostly marble facade. Not too much artistry (by Taj standards), but nevertheless quite imposing.
