DescriptionBuilt principally as a
military establishment by Akbar in 1565, the red sandstone Agra fort was
partially converted into a palace during Shah Jahan's time. Though the
principal structure was built by Akbar, many more additions were made by his
grandsons. This massive fort is 2.5 kms long and is considered as the
predecessor of the Delhi Red fort.
The Rose Pink City founded by
Maharaja Jai Singh II (1693-1743), is the capital of Rajasthan. It is a
major attraction for the first-time visitor. Jaipur is surrounded on all
sides by rugged hills, crowned with forts & enclosed by embattled walls.
Houses with latticed windows line the streets with their rose pink colour,
lending enchantment to the scene, which is almost magical at sunset.
