Early morning at sunrise
visit TAJ MAHAL- the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, built
it in 1631 in the memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a
Muslim Persian princess. She died while accompanying her husband
in Behrampur in a campaign to crush a rebellion, after giving
birth to their 14th child. Her death so crushed the emperor
that all his hair and beard were said to have grown snow white
in a few months. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she extracted
four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj;
second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to
their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death
anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction
began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand
people were deployed to work on it. An Iranian architect designed
it and it is best appreciated when the architecture and its
adornments are linked to the passion that inspired it. It is
a "symbol of eternal love".
Also visit Agra Fort-the
rusty and majestic red-sandstone fort of Agra stands on the
banks of the river Yamuna and the construction was started by
Emperor Akbar in 1566. At the Diwan-I-Am (hall of public audience),
a colonnaded hall of red-sandstone with a throne alcove of inlaid
marble at the back, the Emperor heard public petitions. At the
Diwan-I-Khas (hall of private audience) where marble pavilions
with floral inlays lend an ethereal ambience, the Emperor sat
on his gem-studded Peacock Throne and met foreign ambassadors
and rulers of friendly kingdoms. Late evening transfer to railway station to board the
superfast airconditioned train to Delhi. Dinner in the
train. Arrive Delhi and transfer to hotel. Night stay in Delhi.
