The most visible sign among all rulers is of the Mughal emperors. They had made many monuments. Agra city achieved fame as the capital of the Mughal emperors and remains a major crowd puller because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Taj Mahal in Agra is the immortal sign of a king’s love to his beloved. Shah Jehan made this the mausoleum for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal looks mesmerising in the full moon night, glistening shining under sun light, and ethereal under the dark moonless sky. It is a masterpiece of symmetry.
