The Romantic City Agra
I thought of taking u folks back in history and tell something about Agra.
Agra has arich historical background ,which dates back to theMahabharata era, Agra was known as Agravana, the abode of the Aryans.Ptolemy gave the city its' present name.
Agra is intricately linked with the Moghul dynasty,but was actually founded by Sikandar Lodi(Lodi dynasty 18th century)
Agra became famous for the beautiful Taj Mahal built by Shahjahan in the loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The other places of attraction are Agra Red Fort,Fatehpur Sikri,Buland Darwaza Panch Mahal.
