A story, that although ended back in 1631, continues to live on in the form of Taj and is considered a living example of eternal love. It's the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, two people from the course of history who set an example for the people living in present and the future to come. An English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold best describes it as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passion of an emperor's love wrought in living stones." The story that follows next will prove why the statement is true. Shah Jahan, initially named Prince Khurram, was born in the year 1592. He was the son of Jehangir, the fourth Mughal emperor of India and the grandson of Akbar the Great.hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Taj-Mahal-It-Is-A-Nose-Of-India/3666848 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:54:23 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Taj-Mahal-It-Is-A-Nose-Of-India/3666848 hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-Taj-Mahal-The-Symbol-Of-Eternal-Love/3666844 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:52:51 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-Taj-Mahal-The-Symbol-Of-Eternal-Love/3666844 HISTORY OF AGRA Agra is one of the main historical cities of India. Situated on the banks of river Yamuna, Agra was one of the important cities under Mughal period. The beautiful city Agra came into public interest when Sikandar Lodhi decided to transfer the capital city from Delhi to Agra. It was capital city for some of the great Mughal emperors like Akbar, Jehangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. Babur conquered the Lodhis to capture the city situated on the banks of River Yamuna and thus, the long association of Mughals with Agra started. The Mughal love of architecture translated into beautiful monuments such as Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and Sikandra. Emperor Akbar built the Agra fort and Fatehpur Sikri near Agra. Fatehpur Sikri remained his capital for around fifteen years after which the city was left isolated in mysterious circumstances. Jahangir beautified Agra with palaces and gardens despite spending most of his time in Kashmir with which he was passionately attached. Most Popular Places In Agra Taj Mahal Agra's Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world, New Seven Wonders of the world, and one of three World Heritage Sites in Agra.hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-History-Of-Agra/3666843 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:51:40 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-History-Of-Agra/3666843 hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Gra---The-Land-Of-Culture-And-Heritage--/3666842 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:50:14 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Gra---The-Land-Of-Culture-And-Heritage--/3666842 ABOUT AGRA Though Agra's history is largely recognised with Mughal Empire, but the place was established much before it and has linkages since Mahabharat period and Mahirshi Angira in 1000 BC. It is generally accepted that Sultan Sikandar Lod, the Ruler of the Delhi Sultanate founded Agra in the year 1504. After the Sultan's death the city passed on to his son Sultan Ibrhm Lod. He ruled his Sultanate from Agra until he fell fighting to Bbar in the First battle of Panipat fought in 1526. In the year 1556, the great Hindu warrior Hemu Vikramaditya, also known as Samrat Hem Chander Vikramaditya, won Agra as the Prime Minister cum Chief of Army of Adil Shah of the Afghan Sr Dynasty. The commander of Humyn / Akbar's forces in Agra, Tardi Beg Khan, was so scared of Hemu that he retreated from the city without a fight. This was Hemu's 21st continuous win since 1554, and he later went on to conquer Delhi, having his coronation at Purn Qil'a in Delhi on 7 October 1556 and re-established the Hindu Kingdom and the Vikramaditya Dynasty in North India. The golden age of the city began with the Mughals.hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/About-Agra-/3666841 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:49:01 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/About-Agra-/3666841 Pancard Club Scheme]]> Panoramic Universal Limited]]> Pancard Cl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/First-Family-Picnic-With-Panoramic-Universal-Limited/3666579 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:59:20 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/First-Family-Picnic-With-Panoramic-Universal-Limited/3666579 francorp india]]> franchise india]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Suguna-Poultry-Farm-Limited-To-Expand-In-South-Indian-Market-Through-Francorp/3666139 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:15:07 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Suguna-Poultry-Farm-Limited-To-Expand-In-South-Indian-Market-Through-Francorp/3666139 Lakshdweep]]> Lakshdweep trip]]> Lakshdweep holidays]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Lakshadweep---A-Thousand-Spots-Of-Heaven/3665963 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:42:48 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Lakshadweep---A-Thousand-Spots-Of-Heaven/3665963 Mangalore hotels]]> hotels in Mangalore]]> Mangalore]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mangalore--A-Rustic-Coastal-Town/3665960 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:42:29 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mangalore--A-Rustic-Coastal-Town/3665960 Kannur is a beautiful sea side district in the state of Kerala.
