Strategically located at the heart of India in the alluvial plains between the Ganga and Yamuna, Agra had been a religious and commercial centre for centuries, but it matured and perfected itself only when the Mughals made it their home.
Agra became the grand theatre where this fascinating dynasty played out an entire range of emotions on a titanic scale: love, hate and passion, tremendous energy, mercurial moods, lust for power…. Yet we only have to wander through their forts, gardens, tombs and monuments to also experience their love of nature, refinement, striving for perfection and devotion to the arts. It is this that has endured.
