There are not many places in the world that command the kind of respect and popularity as Agra does. The Taj Mahal may have added a different perspective to the place but it was a destination favoured by the kings and nobles of the Mughal era. Akbar, the most renowned and respected of all the Mughal emperors ruled the India of yore for the ramparts of the Red Fort of Agra. In fact Agra was the base for most of the Mughal rulers. Now Agra is famous as being home to one of the Seven Wonders of the world-the Taj Mahala a truly magnificent Mughal riverside mausoleum and World Heritage Site. Agra lies in the state of Uttar Pradesh, in North India, and this region is home to no less than three designated World Heritage Sites, also including the neighbouring ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri and the red-sandstone Agra Fort.
