An essay on The Visit to a Historical Place – Agra.
India is a country of rich culture and centuries of history and tradition of its own. Thus the country is full of places which are rich in tradition, are important historically, economically, politically, or sociologically. Moreover, the diversity that it presents baffles the people because the diversity is not only geographical but social and cultural as well. Thus, India attracts thousands of tourists from all around the globe.
Last year I had a chance to visit Agra with my uncle’s family. As soon as I got the invitation, I accepted it because Agra has been a great center of art and architecture during the Mughal period. It goes to the credit of Akbar to transform Agra into a great city of cultural and historical importance.
History stands testimony that the old brick fort of Sikandar Lodhi was dismantled by Akbar and a magnificent fortress of rust coloured sandstone was built. For the same reason the Fort of Agra is also known as ‘Lal Quila’. This fort was built by Akbar in AD 1565. It took 8 years to be completed. The Fort is said to have 500 buildings in the style of Bengal and Gujarat. This is what Akbar’s historian Abul Fazal had recorded. But unfortunately only a few survive today and the successors of Akbar too subsequently made a few changes and additions. The Fort stands on the banks of the river Yamuna with double walls to protect it. These walls are very high.
The fort has four gates. Presently, the entry to the fort is allowed through the gate in the south of the fort called the Amar Singh Rathore Gate is a stone statue of a hourse’s head built by Amar Singh Rathore of Jodhpur in remembrance of his faithful horse that had jumped the walls of the fort and lost its legs in order to save its master.
The other two gates near the river situated in the North and East have been closed now. The gate on the West side of the fort is called the Delhi Gate at whose entrance is the famous statues of Jamal and patta who had laid down their lives fighting for Akbar. The space between the Fort and the river was used for holding elephant fights.
Right behind is Akbar’s majestic palace- the roof and floor of which are made of red stone. The Diwan-e-Am of the palace was the place he held his Durbar and dispensed justice. We also saw the Diwan-e-khas and the Machhli Bhavan. Close to the Diwan-e-Aam is the Meena Bazar. To the west is the building which is a very curious kind of a Hide and Seek Building.
Answer:
we went to agra when we were traveling around Uttarpradesh. I have never seen a TAJ MAHAL before in my life. We went to the gate of TAJ and found that there is a token fees to see it. And it was thursday but they told us that on every friday, there in no token fees. Which means we can visit TAJ for free if we can manage to stay and wait 1 more day. Thus we back to our hotels.
On next day, that is friday. We have left to see TAJ. And finally we have seen the most famous and considered to be one of the worlds amazing asset. It was really amazing to see it. The TAJ is really amazing and i was amazed looking at the structure and the building. The security was tight as we have expected because obviously its one of the precious thing in india.
Our guide also said us that it was fully covered with gold but all gold was robbed while india was attacked last time. But then also it was quite pleasurable to see the TAJ.
So, it was a memorable experience for me and my family. We have spent almost our whole day and left it in the evening.
