And the same can be said for the rest of this city situated on the banks of the river Yamuna.

It's indeed a monument to the glorious days of the Mughals - their vanities, their luxuries, their triumphs and their sorrows.

The narrow alleyways meander to brooding havelis, where many a secret mortars the walls.

Old-world bazaars still hold the aura of a market place teeming with the hustle and bustle of a people for whom life was a celebration.

Agra - a city of the past, living for the future.
