The Taj Mahal (/ˌtɑːdʒ məˈhɑːl, ˌtɑːʒ-/;[3] meaning Crown of the Palace[4]) is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre)[5] complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other phases of the project for another 10 years. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million rupees, which in 2015 would be approximately 52.8 billion rupees (U.S. $827 million). The construction project employed some 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by the court architect to the emperor, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.
The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. It is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts 7–8 million visitors a year. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New7Wonders of the World (2000–2007) initiative.

AGRA FORT History/Information in HINDI(Full Guided Tour) | Agra Heritage Tour | Ep-3 | आगरा का किला
This video is based on my recent visit to Agra Fort which I completed with the help of a tourist guide to know the Agra Fort History in Hindi. So, let me tell you briefly about the Agra Fort history and facts associated with this guided tour.
Although, a lot of people search about Agra Fort History in Bengali, Marathi, English and Telugu but I think Hindi is the most used language in India, so I have come up with this Agra Fort Guide in Hindi. Agra Fort Railway Station is just about 100 m away from the Agra Fort, so if you have your train till this railway station, you can reach Agra Fort in not more than 2-4 minutes.
Agra Fort Timings: Sunrise to Sunset
Agra Fort to Taj Mahal Distance : 2 km
Agra Fort Ticket Price/Entry Fee : Rs.50(Indian/Domestic Tourist), Rs.550(Foreign Tourist), Free(For Children above 15 yrs of Age)
Agra Fort is a popular historical fort in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Agra Fort was known to be the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, after which the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. Before the Britishers captured this fort, the last Indian rulers who occupied it were the Marathas. In the year 1983, the Agra fort was got the tag of a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located at about 2 km northwest of its more well known sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more appropriately described as a walled city.
Agra Fort had been built and used majorly by the early mughal rulers including Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. The Fort stands tall on an ancient site and was known as Badalgarh. It was known to be captured by Ghaznavi for some time but later in the 15th century A.D. the Chauhan Rajputs captured it. Soon after, Agra got the status of capital soon after Sikandar Lodi (A.D. 1487-1517) shifted his capital from Delhi and built a few buildings in the existing Fort of Agra. After the first battle of Panipat (A.D. 1526) Mughals occupied the fort and ruled from it. Then Humayun was crowned in the fort in A.D. 1530. The Fort actually got its present appearance during Akbar’s reign (A.D. 1556-1605).
Agra Fort Architecture: The 380,000 m2 (94-acre) fort has a semicircular plan, its chord actually lies parallel to the Yamuna river and its walls are known to be 70 ft high. Double ramparts have massive circular bastions at certain intervals, with battlements, embrasures, machicolations as well as string courses. 4 gates were provided on all the sides, one was the Khizri gate which opened on to the river. Two of the gates of the Fort are notable: the Delhi Gate and the Lahore Gate. The Lahore Gate is popularly known as the Amar Singh Gate, for Amar Singh Rathore.

Taj Mahal interior & Beautiful inside and outside Views - Gingerline Media
The famous Taj Mahal in Agra, India is one of the wonders of the world. Have you ever seen an inside tour? We also show you rare footage of Inside the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned 1628–1658), to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other phases of the project for another 10 years. The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. Described by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore as the tear-drop on the cheek of time, it is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts 7–8 million visitors a year.
Inside the Taj Mahal, the cenotaphs honoring Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan are enclosed in an eight-sided chamber ornamented with pietra dura (an inlay with semi-precious stones) and a marble lattice screen. But the gorgeous monuments are just for show: The real sarcophagi are in a quiet room below, at garden level.

(text from wikipedia)
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (I'timād-ud-Daulah kā Maqbara) is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Often described as a jewel box, sometimes called the Baby Tāj, the tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah is often regarded as a draft of the Tāj Mahal.
Along with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628 represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture – primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and Akbar's tomb in Sikandra – to its second phase, based on white marble and pietra dura inlay, most elegantly realized in the Tāj Mahal.
The mausoleum was commissioned by Nūr Jahān, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirzā Ghiyās Beg, originally a Persian Amir in exile,[1] who had been given the title of I'timād-ud-Daulah (pillar of the state). Mirzā Ghiyās Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtāz Mahāl (originally named Arjūmand Bāno, daughter of Asaf Khān), the wife of the emperor Shāh Jahān, responsible for the construction of the Tāj Mahal. Nur Jehan was also responsible for the construction of the Tomb of Jehangir in Lahore.
Located on the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The mausoleum itself covers about twenty-three meters square, and is built on a base about fifty meters square and about one meter high. On each corner are hexagonal towers, about thirteen meters tall.
The walls are made up from white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations – cornelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz formed into images of cypress trees and wine bottles, or more elaborate decorations like cut fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light penetrates to the interior through delicate jālī screens of intricately carved white marble. The interior decoration is considered by many to have inspired that of the Taj Mahal, which was built by her stepson, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.
Many of Nūr Jahān's relatives are interred in the mausoleum. The only asymmetrical element of the entire complex is that the cenotaphs of her father and mother have been set side-by-side, a formation replicated in the Tāj Mahal.

AGRA FORT History/Tour (in Hindi) | आगरा किला का इतिहास | अकबर ने 8 साल में बनाया था ये भव्य किला!
This video is based on my Agra Fort tour(आगरा किला वीडियो) in which I have told Agra Fort history in hindi(आगरा किला का इतिहास). Located at a walking distance from Agra Fort railway station(आगरा किला रेलवे स्टेशन), and with a distance of 2.5 kms from Agra Fort to Taj Mahal, it is known to be one of the biggest mughal monument in India(आगरा का किला दिखाइए). A lot of people want to know about Agra Fort history in telugu and Agra Fort history in Malayalam, but as I dont know these languages so I have told agra ka kila history in hindi. Agra Fort ticket price is Rs.50, which can be bought at the counters of Agra ka lal kila. People coming by train can catch Agra Fort train till Agra Fort station(आगरा किला स्टेशन) and visit this Agra ka kila Akbar ka(आगरा का किला दिखाओ). Some people also refer it to as agra ka kila jodha akbar ka because Jodha Bai also stayed here with him.
Akbar started building this fort(agra ka kila kisne banwaya tha/आगरा किला किसने बनवाया था) in 1565 and completed it in 1573. There are a lot of palaces inside this beautiful fort(आगरा का किला कैसा है). Although Akbar made this fort(आगरा का किला किसने बनाया था) but it was renovated and new buildings were added till the next 95 years by Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. There are a lot of mysteries associated with this fort(agra ka kila ka rahasya) and we have discussed about them and also the complete history(agra ka kila ka itihaas/agra ka kila mahiti) and architecture of Agra Fort(agra ka kila dikhaiye). A lot of people want to see Agra Fort drone view but its prohibited to fly a drone over it. If you wish to make Agra fort drawing(आगरा किला फोटो), you can get many of them online and if you visit this place(आगरा किला आगरा) for taking pictures, you will get plenty of places to put your status on Instagram and Facebook.
The Agra Fort is known to be a historical fort in Agra,UP and also called Agra's Red Fort. Mughal emperor Humayun was known to be crowned at this historic fort. It was later renovated by the great Mughal emperor Akbar from the year 1565 till 1573. It used to serve as the main residence of the Mughal rulers until the year 1638, when the mughal capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. It was also called Lal-Qila or Qila-i-Akbari. Before it was captured by British, the last Indian rulers who could occupy it were the Marathas. In the year 1983, the Agra fort was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its importance in the Mughal Era. It is located at about 2.5 km northwest of world famous monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be described more accurately as a walled city. It was known to be renovated later by Shah Jahan.
Like the remaining Agra, Agra Fort prior's history before Mahmud Ghaznavi's invasion is quite unclear. However, it is said that in 15th century, the Chauhan Rajputs occupied it. After that, Agra became the capital of Sikandar Lodi (AD 1487–1517) when he shifted his capital from Delhi to Agra and constructed a lot of buildings in the already existing fort at Agra. After the Panipat's first battle (AD 1526) Mughals captured Agra fort and ruled from this place. In the year 1530, Humayun was crowned in it. The Agra fort was got its present appearance during the reign of Akbar (AD 1556–1605). Later this fort was known to be under the rule of Jats of Bharatpur for almost 13 years.
This 94-acre fort has a semicircular plan, its chord actually lies parallel to Yamuna river and its walls are known to be seventy feet high. Double ramparts are known to have massive circular bastions at intervals, with battlements, embrasures, machicolations as well as string courses. There are 4 gates that were provided on its four sides, one is known as Khizri gate that opens on to the river. Two of the fort's most important gates are: the Delhi Gate and the Lahore Gate. The Lahore Gate is also known as the Amar Singh Gate, named after Shah Jahan's commander Amar Singh Rathore.
Delhi Gate that faces the city on the fort's western, is considered to be the grandest of the four gates and is known to be a masterpiece of Akbar's time. It was built in the year 1568 for enhancing security as well as it was the king's formal gate, and this is why it includes features related to both. It is embellished and made with intricate inlay work in white marble. In those times, a wooden drawbridge was used to cross the moat and for reaching the gate from the mainland; inside, an inner gateway known as Hathi Pol (Elephant Gate) – which was guarded by two life-sized stone elephants with their riders that added another layer of security.

Here's Part 4 of our new Heritage Tour series as we explore Agra :)
(text from wikipedia)
Mehtab Bagh (Hindi: मेहताब बाग़, Urdu: مہتاب باغ, translation: Moonlight Garden) is a charbagh complex in Agra, North India. It lies north of the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort on the opposite side of the Yamuna River, in the flood plains. The garden complex, square in shape, measures about 300 by 300 metres (980 ft × 980 ft) and is perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal on the opposite bank. During the rainy season, the ground becomes partially flooded.
The Mehtab Bagh garden was the last of eleven Mughal-built gardens along the Yamuna opposite the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort;[2] the first being Ram Bagh.[5] It is mentioned that this garden was built by Emperor Babur (d. 1530).[5] It is also noted that Emperor Shah Jahan had identified a site from the crescent-shaped, grass-covered floodplain across the Yamuna River as an ideal location for viewing the Taj Mahal. It was then created as a moonlit pleasure garden called Mehtab Bagh. White plaster walkways, airy pavilions, pools and fountains were also created as part of the garden, with fruit trees and narcissus.[6] The garden was designed as an integral part of the Taj Mahal complex in the riverfront terrace pattern. Its width was identical to that of the rest of the Taj Mahal.[2] Legends attributed to the travelogue of the 17th century French traveler Jean Baptiste Tavernier mention Shah Jahan's wish to build a Black Taj Mahal for himself, as a twin to the Taj Mahal; however, this could not be achieved as he was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb. This myth had been further fueled in 1871 by a British archaeologist, A.C.L. Carlleyle, who, while discovering the remnants of an old pond at the site had mistaken it for the foundation of the fabled structure.[2] Thus, Carlleyle became the first researcher to notice structural remains at the site, albeit blackened by moss and lichen.[4] Mehtab Bagh was later owned by Raja Man Singh Kacchawa of Amber, who also owned the land around the Taj Mahal[7]
Frequent floods and villagers extracting building materials nearly ruined the garden. Remaining structures within the garden were in a ruinous state. By the 1990s, the garden's existence was almost forgotten and it had degraded to little more than an enormous mound of sand, covered with wild vegetation and alluvial silt.
More Info:
The Black Taj Mahal (Black Taj, Kaala Taj, also the 2nd Taj) is a legendary black marble mausoleum that is said to have been planned to be built across the Yamuna River opposite the Taj Mahal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan is said to have desired a mausoleum for himself similar to that of the one he had built in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.[1][unreliable source?]
mentioned the idea of Black Taj in his fanciful writings. The writings of Tavernier mention that Shah Jahan began to build his own tomb on the other side of the river but could not complete it as he was deposed by his own son Aurangzeb. However, many modern archaeologists believe this story to be myth.[2]
Ever since the construction of Taj Mahal, the building has been the source of an admiration transcending culture and geography, and so personal and emotional responses have consistently eclipsed scholastic appraisals of the monument.
— Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, one of the first European visitors to the Taj Mahal

John Hessing's tomb is located in a Roman Catholic cemetery in Agra and is popularly known as Red Taj or Lal Taj . The tomb is made in red sandstone and is a scaled down replica of the Taj Mahal! Check out this episode to know more interesting stories associated with the place :)
(text from Wikipedia)
John Hessing (November 5, 1739 – July 21, 1803) was a military officer who served in the armies of the Maratha Empire in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Hessing commanded 3000 Maratha regular troops in the Battle of Kardla, where the Maratha armies defeated the Nizam of Hyderabad on March 12, 1795. In June 1801 Hessing commanded four battalions outside Ujjain, which were attacked and defeated by Yashwantrao Holkar, the Maratha ruler of Indore. Hessing fought with the Maratha armies against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. He died in Agra on 21 July 1803 while in command of the Maratha forces there.
Hessing's tomb is located in the Padretola, or Padresanto, a Christian cemetery in Agra:
The tomb of John Hessing, hard by, is a still more splendid edifice, being a copy, in red sandstone, of the famous Taj Mahal, and on a pretty extensive scale too, though far smaller than the original. The tomb, which was completed in or about the year of the British conquest, bears an inscription in good English, setting forth that the deceased colonel was a Dutchman, who died Commandant of Agra, in his 63rd year, 21 July 1803, just before Lake's successful siege of the place.*
