The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum in the city of Agra, located on the right bank of the Yamuna River. It was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1632 to hold the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, as well as Shah Jahan's mausoleum. The tomb, which is the focal point, is surrounded on three sides by a broken wall and incorporates a mosque and a guest house. The making and designing of the royal palace took 22 years to build with the help of 22000 workers which included designers, masons and jewellers, The beauty of the magnificent structure is due to the delicate work on the walls and the symmetrical design. The walls have the verses of the Quran inscribed on them. During Shah Jahan's last seven years when he was captured by his son Aurangzeb, he spent his life looking at the Taj Mahal from the Agra Fort. After his death, Shah Jahan's son made Shah Jahan's tomb next to his wife's. At night during moonlit nights, the reflection of the Taj Mahal can be seen in the waters nearby which is a view that leaves the tourist speechless. The picturesque view is beyond comparison.

It was built with bricks in the inner core and sandstone on the external surfaces. The fort was originally made of red stones but after the reigns of Shah Jahan, it was renovated again with white marble and some Parchin Kari. Agra fort overlooks other fort-like Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khas, Jahangir's Palace, Khas Mahal, Shish Mahal and Musamman Bur. In the front courtyard, there is a statue of Maratha leader Chhatrapati Shivaji to commemorate his bravery.
