     Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16thcentury Mughal monument known as
the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5 kmlong
enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy tale palaces, such as the
Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the DiwaniKhas; and
two very beautiful mosques.
     B. Taj Mahal
     Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have
noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument
built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was
constructed over a period of twentytwo years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed
in 1648 CE at a cost of 32 million Rupees.
     C. Keoladeo National Park
     This former duckhunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large
numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of
birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
     D. Humayun"s Tomb, Delhi
     This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first gardentomb on the
Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction
of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the redandwhite sandstone and blackandyellow marble tomb
of Humayun"s wife and the tomb of Humayun"s barber.
