MANSINGH
PALACE is located at Agra (Uttar
Pradesh, India),
a city famous for Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the
world.
Once
the renowned Mughal capital, Agra only 200 Km. from Delhi is
the ultimate desire of every tourist foreign or Indian to
visit. Here stands the exquisite mausoleum TAJ
MAHAL, which is an eloquent
commemoration of Emperor Shah Jahan's labour of love for his
Queen Empress Mumtaz Mahal. The magnificent Taj space volumes
of sheer romance which still exists in the air in and around
Agra. Legends of by gone ages, the aroma of spicy food and the
colour of local traditions along with the throbbing life of
the shops and bazaars testify this city to be the very soul of
India. Besides the Mughal empire has left behind other
historic monuments of great beauty such as the tomb of Akbar
at Sikandra with its vaulted gateway and curious structural
design, the Mausoleum of Itma-ud-Daulah
with its jewels in stone, the Massive Agra fort and nearby
Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned city of red sandstone.
