About
Agra : Agra is an old city and it is said that its
name was derived from Agrabana, A forest that finds mention
in the epic Mahabharata. In more recent times Agra came
into prominence when Sikandar Lodi made it his capital
city in 1501. The Lodi rule was to end very soon and Agra
passed into the possession of the Mughals. It was during
the time of the third emperor Akbar that Agra came into
its own. He embarked on the construction of the massive
Agra Fort in 1565. Though Akbar was diverted into building
a new capital at Fatehpur Sikri not far away, Agra continued
to retain its importance and Shah Jehan, Akbar's grandson
ornamented the city with that masterpiece of mughal architecture
- the Taj Mahal and built several other beautiful buildings
within the Agra Fort.
