Agra
Agra is defined by the Taj Mahal, the marble mausoleum that draws visitors from around the world, but its skyline of red sandstone forts and tombs reflects centuries as a seat of Mughal power. Beyond the icon, the city's medieval lanes, bazaars, and nearby Fatehpur Sikri make it one of India's densest concentrations of Mughal-era architecture.
