Agra
Agra is a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India. He gained worldwide fame thanks to the Taj Mahal - a mausoleum built for Mumtaz Mahal, wife of the padishah of the Mughal Empire Shah Jahan, who died in 1631 in childbirth. The mausoleum's majestic main building is renowned for its huge dome and intricately carved white marble inlaid with precious stones.

Agra is included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Jaipur; and the Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc, a tourist circuit of Uttar Pradesh, along with Lucknow and Varanasi.
