    The Majestic Taj Mahal
    Majestic. Took the guided tour. Ease of entry as long as you observe the not to bring items and enjoy walking through the monuments. Do read some history on it to help you appreciate those artisans and architects alike.
    Sweltering heat in autumn and do wear appropriate clothing and head cover.
    My bucket list and dusted

    Agra Fort
    There are Sheesh Mahal, or palaces of mirrors, in Amer, Lahore and Orchha. The one in Agra Fort is less impressive than others, but still worth a visit - if only for the beautiful pietra dura flowers in the white marble. And, anyway, you've paid your ticket into Agra Fort, so may as well.

    Superb architecture.
    WHEN I walked into one building at Jama Masjid I felt like I was on the set of some Hollywood blockbuster which had created a strange alien environment.
    Carved beams criss-crossed overhead with unusual carved decorations beneath each intersection.
    It was not the first surprise that a tour of Fatehpursikri would throw at me.
    Jama Masjid is a 16th century mosque, one of the largest in India, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
    The courtyard is gigantic, covering more than 230,000 sq ft.
    Be warned. You have to take your shoes off to be allowed in, women must wear long gowns and men in shorts will be asked to wear a wrap which can be hired at the entrance.

    Diwan-I-Am
    One can feel inside that the real diwan-i-am is going on where one can see clearly both the entry points at two opposite side. Unfortunately the light and sound show is not happening now

    The older section of the Agra Fort
    Akbar had built several palaces in the Agra Fort, and his son and successor Jahangir had added to them. These comprise the Jahangiri Mahal and Akbari Mahal, both approached through a beautiful gate decorated with red sandstone and yellow dholpur stone. The palaces inside are small, made almost completely of red sandstone, very intricately carved, and with some traces of beautiful painted and incised plaster.

    The Agra Fort ticket, Rs 35 per Indian adult, covers these palaces. An interesting artefact just outside the gate here is Jahangir's bath tub, shaped like a giant tea cup with rough steps on the side to climb in.

    A large hall
    The court of public hearings. Since this was dedicated to the general public, it is large in size, although lacks the grandeur. The arches of the ceilings are intricately carved and are pure works of art. The place is clean and well maintained too.

    The best station so far !
    Better than New Delhi or Jaipur - this station is cleaner and has more character than the others. Our overnight train to Allahabad was only a little late getting in and I shared a four berth cabin with a holy man !

    The Chai wallah arrived about 6:30am and I had a welcome cup of Masala Chai for breakfast.

    Monument In Ruins
    Located to the south of the Kanch Mahal in Sikandra is a partially ruined structure known as the Lodhi Tomb. The monument resembling a palace of some kind is believed to have been built by Sikander Lodi.
