About Amber Fort
The Kachchawahas ruled from Amber, 11 km from Jaipur, for Sevencenturies. With a history so old, it is not unexpected that there is a lot of the past that can be traced in its archaeological history.
While many of the early structures have either disappeared or ruined,
those dating from the16th century on are in a remarkable state of preservation.
Amber as it exists now is the handiwork preservation of three of the kingdom's rulers that include Man Singh, and Jai Singh I and II. Beyond the ramparts, the old city, once the abode of the aristocracy, has a wonderfully medieval flavor, though it has few buildings of majestic proportion that are still extant. However, a walk through the rambling lanes will reap rich rewards for the curious besides a large number of temples there are also step-wells, memorials and town houses.

Taj Mahal of India
About Taj Mahal of India Taj Mahal of India - "the epitome of love", "a monument of immeasurable beauty". The beauty of this magnificent
monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words.
The thoughts that come into the mind while watching the Taj Mahal of Agra is not just its phenomenal beauty,
but the immense love which was the reason behind construction.
Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan got this monument constructed in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, with whom he fell in love at the first sight. The very first sight of the Taj Mahal, the epitome of love and romance leaves one mesmerized.
Standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous with love and romance.
It is believed that the name "Taj Mahal" was derived from the name of Shah Jahan wife Mumtaz Mahal and means "Crown Palace". The purity of the white marble, the exquisite ornamentation, precious gemstones used and its picturesque location, all make Taj Mahal travel gain a place amongst the most popular ones. However, unless and until, one knows the love story behind the Tajmahal of India, it will come up as just a beautiful building.
But, the love behind this outstanding monument is what has given a life to this monument.

About The walls of the fort
The walls of the fort extend for 2km and vary in height from 18m on
the river side to 33m on the city side. Shah Jahan began construction
of the massive fort in 1638 and it was completed in 1648. Shah Jahan
never completely moved his capital from Agra to his new city of
Shahjahanabad in Delhi because he was deposed and imprisoned in Agra Fort by his sly son Aurangzeb.
The Red Fort dates from the very peak of Mughal power.
The Mughal reign from Delhi was a short one, however; Aurangzeb was the first and last great Mughal emperor to rule from here.
