Located
at the city of Agra in the State of Uttar
Pradesh, the Taj Mahal is one of the most
beautiful masterpieces of architecture in
the world. Agra, situated about 200 km south
of New Delhi, was the Capital of the Mughals
(Moguls), the Muslim Emperors who ruled
Northern India between the sixteenth and
nineteenth centuries. The Mughals were the
descendant of two of the most skilled warriors
in history: the Turks and the Mongols. The
Mughal dynasty reached its highest strength
and
fame during the reign of their early Emperors,
Jehangir, and Shah Jehan.
