At the time of the Mughals, in the 16th & 17th centuries, Agra was the capital of the grand Mughal Empire; during this period of unparalleled splendor, the city became a leading centre of art, science, commerce and culture. The short golden age of Agra came to an end with the seventeenth century reign of Shah Jehan, mastermind of the unforgettable Taj Mahal. Even today, these exquisite temples draw in visitors from around the world as the city's rich & narrow lanes echo with the tales of history.
