Agra & Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh - Pictures (Español & English)

Agra Fort. Fortaleza principal en una de las capitales del imperio mogul de la India. La misma piedra y estilo que la gran fortaleza de Delhi (Red Fort)



Emperor's bathtub




Taj Mahal seen from the fort


The Emperor's bedroom

Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, spent the last years of his life imprisoned by his son, allegedly prohibited from seeing his masterpiece, the tomb of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal 




Baby Taj, Agra, the "model" for the Taj Mahal






Very active hindu crematorium, a few hundred meters downriver from the Taj Mahal
  The Taj Mahal. We arrived there shortly after 6 am... No puedo imaginarme la temperatura de tarde en verano...






Glorious decoration, in the best muslim tradition, with the best materials, including lapis lazuli....






Abandoned fortress of Fatehpur Sikri, for a short while the capital of the Empire, built by the great Akbar, a remarkably modern and tolerant man, at least as far as religion freedom was concerned. He wanted to create a new syncretism that would unite the divided peoples of his empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Din-e_Ilahi)
