India’s rich religious and cultural past has created distinctive architectural styles, temple towns and famous monuments many of them on the World Heritage list.
A land of dramatic fortresses and dazzling palaces, India is home to the most popular Wonders of the World, which is also regarded as the world's most romantic building - the glorious white-marble Taj Mahal in Agra. The city of the Taj is nestled on the banks of the river Yamuna and is embellished with majestic monuments from the Mughal era like Fatehpur Sikri, Sikandra, Aram Bagh, Tomb of Itmad-ud-daula and the Agra Fort, signifying the indulgent lifestyles of the Mughal empire. The other places on the way to Agra are Vrindavan, Mathura and Bharatpur.
