Taj
Mahal, a dream etched in milky white pristine marble is the peerless monument
portraying the beauty of eternal love! A commemoration of the memory of
Shahjahan's beloved wife, Mumtaz. Taj Mahal is indeed India's rich tribute
to womanhood. The story of Taj Mahal reflects the intensity of love. The
fairy tale began when walking through the bazaar of Agra prince qhurram
saw a girl. The girl was exceptionally beautiful.

Howard Park Plaza
Agra,
city of the Taj Mahal, lying on the river Yamuna, is only two hours away by
train, four hours by road and 30 minutes by air from Delhi. Over 300 year old
white marble Taj is the main draw and major hotel chains have properties to
cater the needs of the multitudes of visitors. The Taj Mahal - built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjehan, this beautiful mausoleum is of pure white marble and is an architectural marvel.
Agra has a rich historical background, which is amply evident from the numerous historical monuments in and around the city. Though the heritage of Agra city is linked with the Mughal dynasty, numerous other rulers also contributed to the rich past of this city. Agra was founded by Sikandar Lodhi (Lodhi dynasty; Delhi Sultanate) in the 16th century.
Babur (founder of the Mughal dynasty) also stayed for sometime in Agra and introduced the concept of square Persian-styled gardens here. Emperor Akbar built the Agra fort, Jahangir beautified it with palaces and gardens. Shahjahan marked the zenith of Mughal architecture, when he built the Taj.
