History:
Agra is an old city and it is said that its name was derived from
Agrabana, A forest that finds mention in the epic Mahabharata. In more recent
times Agra came into prominence when Sikandar Lodi made it his capital city in
1501. The Lodi rule was to end very soon and Agra passed into the possession of
the Mughals. It was during the time of the third emperor Akbar that Agra came
into its own. He embarked on the construction of the massive Agra Fort in 1565.
Though Akbar was diverted into building a new capital at Fatehpur Sikri not far
away, Agra continued to retain its importance and Shah Jehan, Akbar's grandson
ornamented the city with that masterpiece of mughal architecture - the Taj Mahal
and built several other beautiful buildings within the Agra Fort.
