The Taj Mahal, a Mughal fort and a marble legacy on the banks of the Yamuna.
Agra lies on the Yamuna river in Uttar Pradesh, about three hours south of Delhi on the Indo-Gangetic plain. It rose to prominence as a Mughal capital in the 16th–17th centuries, and that legacy survives in the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the abandoned red-sandstone city of Fatehpur Sikri nearby. Flat, fertile farmland surrounds the city, and it remains one of the most-visited single stops on any India itinerary.
