Agra - Agra

Agra shimolda joylashgan Toj Mahal shahri Hind holati Uttar-Pradesh, taxminan 200 km Dehli.

Agrada uchta YuNESKOning Jahon merosi saytlar, Toj Mahal va Agra Fort shaharda va Fotihpur Sikri 40 km uzoqlikda. Agraning poytaxti bo'lgan shon-sharaf kunlaridan beri ko'plab boshqa binolar va qabrlar mavjud Mughal imperiyasi.

Ushbu uchta saytdan tashqari, shaharda buni tavsiya qiladigan boshqa narsa yo'q. Ifloslanish, ayniqsa, tutun va axlat juda keng tarqalgan va mehmonlar har bir yodgorlikda toj va qirg'iylar to'dasi bilan bezovtalanmoqda, bundan tashqari, siz kirib kelganingizdan so'ng, firibgarliklar va shov-shuvlardan xoli bo'lgan Toj Mahaldan tashqari. Saytlar dunyoning ba'zi mo''jizalaridir va hech bo'lmaganda Tojga tashrif buyurmasdan Hindistonga hech qanday sayohat tugamaydi. Ziyoratchilarning katta qismi uchun Agrada bitta kun etarli emas.

Tushuning

Agraning eng gullab-yashnagan davri poytaxt edi Mughal imperiyasi 1526 va 1658 yillarda shahar ancha oldin tashkil etilgan. Agraga dastlabki eslatma qadimgi epopeyada - Mahabxaratada, Ptolomey esa uni zamonaviy nomi bilan birinchi bo'lib chaqirgan. Agraning yozib olingan tarixi taxminan 11-asrda boshlanadi va keyingi 500 yil ichida shahar hindu va musulmon kabi turli xil shohlar o'rtasida qo'l almashtirdi.

1506 yilda Dehli Sultonligining hukmdori Sulton Sikandar Lodi o'z poytaxtini Dehlidan Agraga ko'chirdi. Uning o'g'li Ibrohim Lodi Lodi sulolasining so'nggi hukmdori bo'lgan, chunki u 1526 yilda birinchi mug'ol hukmdori Bobur tomonidan jangda mag'lubiyatga uchragan. Panipat. Agra ham qulab tushdi va 1540 yildan 1556 yilgacha bo'lgan davrni hisobga olmaganda Agra ustidan hukmronligi uzluksiz bo'lgan Mug'allarning poytaxtiga aylandi. 1540 yilda Sher Shoh Shuri Humoyunni ag'dargan holda Shimoliy Hindistonning aksariyat qismida hukmdor bo'ldi. Sher Shoh Surining vafotidan keyin uning avlodlari qirollikni boshqarish vazifasiga tengsizlikni isbotladilar va Xemu Surining hindu generali keyinchalik shoh Xemachandra Vikramadityani toj kiydiradigan samarali hukmdor bo'ldi, xuddi shohlik qayta tiklangan mug'allarning hujumiga duch keldi. 1556 yilda Xemu Panipatning ikkinchi jangida mag'lubiyatga uchraydi va o'ldiriladi va mo'g'ullar Agrani qaytarib olishadi.

Mughallar buyuk quruvchilar edi. Bobur qurgan Aram Bagh (dam olish bog'i) jannat bog'idan o'rnak olgan bo'lib, u oxir-oqibat vafotidan keyin dafn etilgan. Uning nabirasi Akbar jihozni ta'mirladi Agra qal'asi va qurilgan Fotihpur Sikri, Agraning chekkasida joylashgan butun shahar. Shuningdek, u Agrani o'z nomiga o'zgartirdi va shahar nomi ma'lum bo'lgan Akbarobod Mug'al qo'lida bo'lganida. Akbarning nabirasi Shoh Jehan Agraga o'zining eng mashhur yodgorligi - yodgorligini beradi Toj Mahalbu uning sevimli xotini maqbarasi, Mumtaz Mahal. Toj oq marmardan yasalgan. Uning qurilishi uchun 20 yil vaqt sarflandi va hozirda u sevgi uchun yodgorlik sifatida tanilgan. Afsonalarda aytilishicha, Shoh Jehan Tojning nusxasini uning qora tanli marmardan qurilgani va bu uning so'nggi turar joyi bo'lishi kerak edi. Ushbu nazariyani qo'llab-quvvatlamaydi, lekin agar u haqiqat bo'lsa ham, buni amalga oshirish mumkin emas edi. Uning o'g'li Aurangzeb qattiqqo'l va taqvodor edi va ota-bobolarining namoyon bo'lishiga vaqt yoki mayl yo'q edi, chunki u pullarini Janubiy Hindistondagi urushlarga sarflashni afzal ko'rdi. Qanday bo'lmasin, Shoh Jehan hukmronligi davrida ham, Mo'g'ullar imperiyasi avjiga chiqqan davrda ham, Toj qurilishi imperiya resurslariga og'irlik tug'dirdi va Agra atrofida kichik ocharchilikni keltirib chiqardi. Oxir oqibat Shoh Jehan sevgilisi Begumning yonida, oppoq Tojda dafn qilindi.

Shoh Jehan, Agraga shon-sharafga bo'lgan eng katta da'voni berishdan tashqari, tanazzulni boshlanishiga ham javobgar edi, chunki u 1658 yilda o'z poytaxtini endi Eski Dehli nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan Shahjehonobodga ko'chirishga qaror qildi. Aurangzeb orqaga qaytishni buyurgan bo'lsa ham, Bosh qarorgohini janub tomon pastga siljitganda, bu ham qisqa umr ko'rdi Aurangabad uning urushlariga e'tibor qaratish. Agra tanazzulga yuz tutdi va Mo'g'ullar imperiyasi ham rad etdi. Oxir-oqibat shahar Marathalar tomonidan qo'lga kiritilib, Agra nomini o'zgartirdi. 1803 yilda u erda Agra prezidentligini joylashgan inglizlar tasarrufiga o'tdilar va Hindiston mustaqillikka erishgach, shahar Uttar-Pradesh shtatiga qo'shildi va hatto shtat poytaxti bo'lish cheklangan sharafiga ham ega bo'lmadi. ga Lucknow, sharq tomonda. Hozir u Toj va boshqa bir qator yodgorliklar bilan tanilgan turistik shahar.

Chiqinglar

Agra Dehlidan janubi-sharqda 200 km uzoqlikda joylashgan va sayyohning Agra- Oltin uchburchagi nuqtalaridan biridir.Dehli-Jaypur. Agra shuningdek, boshqa yaqin shaharlar va sayyohlik yo'nalishlari bilan temir yo'l va avtoulov orqali juda yaxshi bog'langan va shuning uchun Dehlidan bir kunlik sayohatga yoki katta marshrutning bir qismi sifatida foydalanish mumkin.

Samolyotda

• 27.157577.9608331 Agraning Xeriya aeroporti (AGR ^IATA). Xizmat mavsumiydir. Shaharga Air India Regional tomonidan xizmat ko'rsatiladi, u uchib yuradi Dehli-Agra-Jaypur turistik uchburchak marshruti. Ikkinchisiga uchish vaqti bir soatdan kam. Avtomobilni yollash arzonroq alternativa bo'lishi mumkin.  

Poyezdda

Agra - asosiy poezd liniyasida Dehli-Mumbay (Bombay) va Dehli-Chennay marshrutlar va ko'plab poezdlar Agrani har kuni ushbu shaharlar bilan bog'laydi. Dehlidan sharqqa yo'naltirilgan ba'zi poezdlar Agra orqali ham harakatlanadi, shuning uchun Sharqiy Hindistondagi punktlarga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ulanish (shu jumladan) Kolkata) ham mavjud. Dehliga har kuni 20 ga yaqin, Mumbay va Chennayga kamida uch-to'rt poyezd bor. Agra va Dehli ko'rinishni deyarli nolga kamaytiradigan qalin qish tumanlari bilan mashhur. Dekabr oxiri va yanvar oyi boshlarida (tuman mavsumi) ko'rish imkoniyati pasayganligi sababli barcha poezdlar sekinlashadi va sayohat vaqti ko'payadi. Masalan, Bhopal Shatabdi, Agraga soat 10:00 dan keyin yetib borishi va yarim tundan keyin Dehliga qaytishi mumkin. Xavfsizlik nuqtai nazaridan har doim qish paytida poezdda sayohat qilish afzaldir.

Agra stantsiyasida siz "UP Tourism" konditsioner hashamatli murabbiylarga ekskursiyalarni yollashingiz mumkin. Shuningdek, Dehlidan uyushtirilgan ekskursiyalar mavjud. Agar siz yuqori mavsumda sayohat qilsangiz, kunlik sayohat qilishni xohlasangiz, chiptalarni bir necha kundan bir necha haftagacha oldindan bron qilishingiz kerak., ya'ni erta tongda sayohat qilish va kechasi oqilona vaqtda qaytib kelish.

Poezd chiptalarini Hindiston temir yo'llari veb-sayti orqali onlayn tarzda debet yoki kredit kartalar orqali to'lash mumkin, garchi chet el banklari tomonidan chiqarilgan chiptalar ko'pincha rad etilsa. Onlaynda chiptalarni qanday bron qilish haqida ko'proq ma'lumot olish uchun "maqolasiga tashrif buyuring.Hindistonda temir yo'l bilan sayohat".

Stantsiyalar

Agrada uchta stantsiya mavjud:

• Agra Kantt (Stantsiya kodi: AGC) asosiy temir yo'l stantsiyasi bo'lib, Toj va Agra qal'asining janubi-g'arbida joylashgan bo'lib, ikkalasi ham stantsiyadan avtoulov, avto-riksha yoki velosiped rikshaw bilan qisqa masofada joylashgan. Shaharning istalgan mehmonxonasiga bir tekis stavka oladigan oldindan to'lanadigan taksi stantsiyasi mavjud. Vokzaldan bir oz narida piyoda yursangiz, avtomatik rikshani ushlashingiz mumkin, ammo ular ingliz tilida gaplashmasligi mumkin. Stantsiyada oziq-ovqat korti mavjud, u erda sendvich va samosalar kabi arzon, gigienik taomlar sotiladi.
• Agra Fort stantsiyasi Agra Fort yaqinidagi (Stantsiya kodi: AF) davlatlararo tezyurar poezdlar tomonidan kamdan-kam hollarda xizmat ko'rsatiladi. Stantsiya poezdlarga sharq tomon xizmat qiladi (Kanpur, Goraxpur, Kolkata) va ushbu poezdlarning ba'zilari Agra Kanttda to'xtaydi.

Bu Agraning tarixiy temir yo'l stantsiyalaridan biridir, chunki Jama Masjidi va Agra qal'asining Dehli darvozasi o'rtasida mavjud bo'lgan keng, sakkiz burchakli Tripoliya Chowk bor edi. Ushbu Tropoliya Agra Fort temir yo'l stantsiyasini yaratish uchun vayron qilingan edi, u ham Agraning birinchi temir yo'l stantsiyasi va shuningdek, mamlakatdagi eng qadimgi stansiyalardan biri edi.

• Raja Ki Mandi (Stantsiya kodi: RKM) - kichik stansiya. Agra Kanttda to'xtagan ba'zi poezdlar ham to'xtaydi. Stansiya tinch va dangasa muhitga ega, ammo shaharlararo poezdlar va Taj Ekspresslar kelishi bilan hayotga kirib keladi. U shaharning o'rtasida joylashgan.
• Agra Siti Agraning markazida joylashgan. Hisoblagich o'lchagich davrining yodgorligi bo'lgan ushbu stantsiya ayniqsa foydali emas.
• Idgah temir yo'l stantsiyasi Agar siz Jaypurdan Agraga etib kelsangiz, birinchi stantsiya.

Chiziqlar

• Dehlidan Agraga - 20 ga yaqin poezd ulanadi Dehli va Agra har kuni sayohat vaqtlari 2-5 soatgacha o'zgarib turadi. Eng yaxshi variantlar Bhopal Shatabdi Express (Nyu-Dehlidan soat 6:15 da Agra Kanttga soat 8: 12da jo'nab ketadi; Agra Kanttdan Nyu-Dehliga juma kunidan tashqari har kuni soat 22: 30da, soat 20: 30da jo'nab ketadi; ovqat va suv havo transportiga qo'shiladi) va Taj Express (Dehli Hazrati Nizomuddindan soat 7:15 da Agra Kanttga soat 10: 07da jo'nab ketadi; Agra Kanttdan har kuni soat 22: 55da Dehli Hazrati Nizomuddinga etib keladi).
• Agra - Jaypur - Jaypurgacha sayohat (Stantsiya kodi: JP), № 4-sonli poezdda 4 soat davom etadi. 2988, Agra Fort temir yo'l stantsiyasidan soat 18:25 da chiqib, Jaypurga soat 22:20 atrofida etib boradi.

Shuningdek, 17:40 da Agra Kantonidan Jaypurgacha bo'lgan 2965 raqamli poezd. Poyezd soat 22:15 da etib keladi. ₹ 300 ta havo transport vositasi.

• The Hashamatli poezd — G'ildiraklardagi saroy sayyohlik yo'nalishlarini 8 kunlik sayohatida Agrada to'xtaydi Rajastan va Agra.

Avtobusda

Agraga kelib chiqadigan bir nechta avtobuslar bor Jaypur, Dehli, Ajmer, Lucknow va boshqalar.

Dehlidan

Dehli va Agra o'rtasidagi avtomagistralda pullik bor, shuning uchun aksariyat avtobuslar uni olib ketmaydi. Aksincha, ular mahalliy yo'llarda harakat qilishadi, bu sayohat tezyurar poezdlarga qaraganda ancha uzoqroq (4-5 soat). Avtobus va mikroavtobus bilan Agraga kichikroq yo'llar orqali etib borish mumkin, ammo Agra tomon avtobuslar qayerdan jo'nashini so'rashingiz kerak, yaxshisi ishonchli mahalliy aholi yoki sizning mehmonxonangiz / yotoqxonangiz xodimlaridan. Hindiston avtovokzallari, aksariyat hollarda, yo'laklar ostida joylashgan katta yulka maydonlari, juda gavjum va qaysi avtobusning qaerga borishi yoki xususiy avtobus kompaniyalarining stendlari haqida qo'shimcha ma'lumotisiz, bu esa yuqori narxlarda qulayroq sayohat qilishni taklif qiladi. Ushbu parametr avantyurani his qiladiganlar uchundir, chunki sizning sayohatingiz avtobusning to'satdan buzilishi yoki mahalliy norozilik yoki yig'ilishning boshqa shakli tufayli yo'lning yopilishi bilan to'xtatilishi mumkin. Shunisi e'tiborga loyiqki, bu Agraga borishning eng arzon usuli, chunki uning narxi oddiy "avtobus" ₹ 60 dan oshmasligi kerak va ko'proq yo'lovchilar turidagi avtobus uchun ₹ 200.

Agradan

Uchta davlatlararo avtobus stendlari mavjud:

• Idgah avtobus bekati Tajdan 8 km uzoqlikda, shaharning markazida joylashgan Rajasthan / Madhya Pradesh tomon harakatlanish uchun asosiy avtobus bekatidir.
• ISBT Tajdan 12 km uzoqlikdagi Transport Nagarda davlatlararo avtobus terminali joylashgan. Avtobuslarning aksariyati bu erdan o'tadi, faqat Idgah avtobus bekatidan kelib, Rajastanga qarab ketadigan avtobuslar bundan mustasno.

Agar siz ushbu davlat avtobuslari bilan sayohat qilishni xohlasangiz, riksha haydovchingizdan sizni u erga olib borishini talab qilishingiz kerak. Agar siz faqat Dehliga avtobuslar so'rasangiz, ehtimol u sizni xususiy avtobus kompaniyasiga olib boradi, u erda u qisqartiradi. Siz uchun biroz qimmatroq bo'ladi va avtobuslar tasodifiy joylarda to'xtab, sizni tasodifiy joylarga ham tushirib yuborishadi, chunki bu avtobuslar to'g'ridan-to'g'ri emas.

Taksida

Siz mehmonxonadan taksi buyurtma qilishingiz yoki to'g'ridan-to'g'ri temir yo'l stantsiyasidan tashqarida bron qilishingiz mumkin. Odatda hukumat tomonidan vakolatli taksilar turar joyi mavjud, ammo uni topish qiyin bo'lishi mumkin va stantsiyada bo'lgan mahalliy aholi (ishonuvchan sayyohlarni qidirish) sizni topishga yordam bermaydi. 8 soat davomida kuniga 950. Ehtimol, mehmonxonalar narxlari borligi sababli mehmonxonani bron qilish ancha qimmatga tushishi mumkin. Haydovchi bilan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri muzokara olib borish yoki ba'zi bir onlayn ijaraga olish portaliga buyurtma berish yaxshiroqdir.

Taj majmuasi yaqinida mashinalarga yo'l qo'yilmaydi, ammo Agraning qolgan qismi mashinada osonlikcha topiladi.

Mashinada

• Kimdan Dehli: Yamuna tezyurar yo'li, Dehlidan Agragacha bo'lgan 200 km masofani birlashtiradi. Drayv odatda 2 soatni tashkil qiladi. Tezyurar yo'l Buyuk Noida shahridan Agra tomon o'tadi. Magistral yo'lda pullik bor.

NH2 avtomagistrali: Magistral yo'lga asosiy kirish Dehli shahridagi Matura yo'li bo'ylab, lekin agar Janubiy Dehli yoki Dehli aeroportidan kelsa, Aurobindo Marg (Mehrauli yo'li) dan o'tib, Tug'lakobod orqali NH2 ga borishni osonlashtiradi. Magistral yo'l ikkiga bo'lingan bo'lsa-da, yuk mashinalari, yengil avtomobillar va buzoq aravalarini noto'g'ri yo'lga qarab turish kerak. Haydovchisiz mashinani ijaraga olish mumkin (Dehli aeroportidan / aeroportiga besh kishilik katta avtomobil costs 3500 turadi). Agar parvozni amalga oshirish uchun Agradan aeroportga etib borishingiz kerak bo'lsa, ehtiyot bo'ling, sayohat uchun ko'p vaqtingiz borligiga ishonch hosil qiling, chunki transport holati haydash vaqtini sezilarli darajada oshirishi mumkin. Shuningdek, haydovchingizni bilish oqilona. U masofani bosib o'tishga besh soatdan ko'proq vaqt ketishi mumkin bo'lgan holatlar mavjud va siz uni avtoulovdan (tuk-tuk) tezroq haydashga majburlay olmaysiz.

• Kimdan Jaypur: Milliy avtomagistral 11, to'rt qatorli bo'linadigan magistral, Agrani bog'laydi Jaypur qushlar qo'riqxonasi shaharchasi orqali Bharatpur. Taxminan 255 km masofani 4 soat ichida bosib o'tish mumkin.
• Kimdan Gvalior: Taxminan 120 km masofa, Milliy avtomagistral 3 (Agra-Mumbay shosse) bo'ylab 1,5 soat davom etadi.
• Kimdan Lucknow / Kanpur: Bo'lingan zamonaviy avtomagistral NH2 Kanpurda davom etadi (285 km, 5 soat) va u erdan Sharq bilan tugaydigan nuqtalarga Kolkata. Kanpurdan NH25 shaharga yo'l oladi Lucknow (90 km, 2 soat).
• Kimdan Lucknow: Agra-Lucknow tezyurar yo'li, Hindistonning eng uzun shosse, shtat poytaxtidan 302 km masofani birlashtiradi Lucknow Agraga. Drayv juda yumshoq va 3 soat davom etadi. Bu pullik avtomagistral.
• Buyuk Noida shahridan : Balki eng yaxshi marshrut, chunki u Agraga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Yamuna tezyurar yo'li bilan, 165 km., Transport harakati kam bo'lgani uchun 1,5 - 2 soat ichida tugashi mumkin. Yo'l juda ravon.

Shaharga xos bo'lgan ko'plab oziq-ovqat mahsulotlarini topasiz.

Toj Mahal atrofida ifloslantiruvchi vositalar taqiqlanganligi sababli, Toj Mahal oralig'ida sayohat qilish paytida Tonga yoki elektr avtoulovlaridan foydalanish kerak. Tuyalar ham mavjud.

• 27.1750278.042161 Toj Mahal. 1631 yildan 1648 yilgacha Mo'g'ul imperatori Shoh Jahonning buyrug'i bilan sevimli rafiqasi xotirasiga binoan qurilgan ulkan oq marmar maqbaradir. Toj Mahal degani Toj saroyi; Xotinning ismlaridan biri Mumtaz Mahal edi Saroyning bezaklari. Toj - dunyodagi eng yaxshi saqlanib qolgan va me'moriy jihatdan eng go'zal maqbaralardan biri, hind-islom me'morchiligining durdonalaridan biri va dunyodagi eng buyuk meros ob'ektlaridan biridir.  

Toj Mahalning o'ziga xos hayoti bor, agar u sevgi yodgorligi ekanligini tushunsangiz, marmardan uchib chiqadi. Hindiston shoiri Rabindranat Tagor buni chaqirdi abadiyatning yonog'idagi ko'z yoshi, ingliz shoiri, ser Edvin Arnold shunday dedi Boshqa binolar singari arxitekturaning bir qismi emas, balki jonli toshlarda ishlangan imperator sevgisining mag'rur ehtiroslari.

Garchi bu dunyodagi eng ko'p suratga olingan binolardan biri bo'lib, uni darhol tanib olish mumkin bo'lsa ham, aslida uni shaxsan ko'rish dahshatli. Hammasi fotosuratlarda yo'q. Majmuaning maydoniga yana bir nechta chiroyli binolar, basseynlarni aks ettiruvchi va gulli daraxtlar va butalar bilan bezatilgan keng bog'lar va kichik sovg'alar do'koni kiradi. Daraxtlar bilan o'ralgan va hovuzda aks ettirilgan toj ajoyib. Yoping, binoning katta qismlari mozaikali tosh bilan ishlangan.

Shoh Jahon Yamuna daryosining qarama-qarshi tomonida qora marmardan aniq nusxasini yaratishni rejalashtirgan apokrifik ertak mavjud. Uning rejalari o'g'li Aurangzeb tomonidan amalga oshirilmadi, u uchta akasini o'ldirdi, keyin taxtga ega bo'lish uchun otasini ag'darib qamoqqa oldi. Shoh Jahon endi Toj Mahalda rafiqasi bilan birga dafn etilgan.

Toj oppoq bo'lgani uchun kamerangiz fotosuratlaringizni kam ochib qo'yishi mumkin. 1 yoki 2 ta to'xtash joyiga haddan tashqari ta'sir qilish tavsiya etiladi.

Toj shaharning o'rtasida joylashgan. Uchastkaga kirish uchun navbat kuting. Uchta eshik bor: G'arbiy darvoza - ko'pchilik sayyohlar kiradigan asosiy eshik. Dam olish kunlari va dam olish kunlarida ko'plab odamlar tashrif buyurishadi va g'arbiy darvoza orqali kirish bir necha soat davom etishi mumkin. Janubiy va sharqiy darvoza juda kam band va bunday kunlarda sinab ko'rish kerak.

Ichkariga kirgandan so'ng, maqbaraga uzun navbatlar kelishini kuting. Siz sotib olgan chipta turiga qarab ikkita qator mavjud. Yodgorlik tagida umumiy (hindistonlik) kirish uchun o'ng tomonga burilib, yuqori (chet ellik) chiptalar uchun chapga buriling. Umumiy chiziq tushdan keyin bino atrofida bir necha marta o'ralishi mumkin, chet elliklar esa odatda bo'sh. Agar yo'qolib qolsangiz, foydali soqchilar sizni boshqarishi mumkin.

Chivinlarga qarshi vosita issiq oylarda tavsiya etiladi.

Toj Mahal sessiyalarini to'linoy tunda va undan ikki kun oldin va undan keyingi kunlarda (jami besh kun) tunda ko'rish mumkin. Istisnolar juma, musulmonlar shanbasi va Ramazon oyidir. Buyurtmani Agra shahridagi Mall Road 22-uyda joylashgan Hindiston Arxeologiya Jamiyati ofisidan 24 soat oldin amalga oshirish kerak. Chipta hindular uchun 510 ₹, hindu bo'lmaganlar uchun 750 ₹. Kecha tomosha qilish soatlari 20:30 - 21:00 va 21: 00-22: 30. Mehmon Sharqiy darvoza yonidagi Toj Mahal chiptaxonasining xavfsizligini tekshirish uchun soatni ko'rishdan 30 daqiqa oldin kelishi kerak. Tungi ko'rinish pulni sarflashga arzimaydi, chunki tashrif buyuruvchilar Toj Mahaldan (taxminan 200 metr masofada) uzoqroq joyda joylashgan va tomosha qilish yoki suratga olish uchun yorug'lik etarli emas.

Agra Fort

• 27.17958378.0212972 Agra Fort. tartibi bo'yicha Qizil Fortga o'xshaydi Dehli, ammo ancha yaxshi saqlanib qolgan, chunki Dehli Fortining ko'p qismi Britaniyaliklar tomonidan qo'zg'olondan keyin vayron qilingan.

Imperator Shoh Jahon qal'aga qo'shib qo'ydi va u erda mahbus bo'lib qoldi. Qal'ada uning shoh asari Toj Mahalning ochiq kunida chiroyli ko'rinishi bor.

Toj Mahaldan Rikshau qal'asiga taxminan 45-50 dollar atrofida etib borishingiz mumkin. Toj Mahal uchun pul to'lamagan bo'lsangiz, qal'aga kirish ₹ 600 va plus 50 yig'im hisoblanadi.

Sotib oling

Agra has many shops selling stone products, from jewellery to small boxes and plaques with inlay work resembling that on the Taj. The best of these are wonderful, and even the run-of-the-mill ones are rather pretty. Agra is also famous for its leather goods. Consider spending time in Sadar Bazaar for some shopping and cheap food.

Beware of being overcharged. Do not let anyone lead you to a shop, lest the price go up to cover their commission, typically 50%. Be very wary of the promises these people make. Bargain hard. Be prepared to walk away, you can nearly always get the same items in another shop or order items you liked during your visit over the Internet after you return. Expect to encounter petty and greedy shopowners who will resort to every lie in the book to make a sale (with initial markups of 1,000-10,000%).

There are many local markets: Sadar Bazar. a sophisticated market, Raja ki Mandi market, Sanjay Place for all the offices, Shah Market for electronics. All of these markets are situated along the M G Road. Hospital Road Market and Subhash Bazar for clothes situated near Agra Fort railway station. Rawatpara market is for spices. Besides these there are many branded shops along the M G Road.

Many wholesale marble products are available at Gokul Pura Market near Raja Mandi on M. G. Road which can be easily reached by auto rickshaw, the price of most items are nearly 25% in the retail market.

Be careful when buying jewels: lots of stones are fake and the price is comparatively high.

Xavfsiz bo'ling

• Don't leave cash or any valuables in the hotel room. Cross check all hotel, restaurant and lounge bills for errors.
• Never pay anyone for anything upfront, including taxi drivers.
• Beware of pickpockets.
• If you decide to purchase anything, beware that most items are cheap replicas of original items and not likely to last long.The toys are really poorly put together so do not buy them!
• During the winter season, the weather of Agra is unpredictable and temperature may go as low as freezing; be well prepared.
• Some unscrupulous dealers of carpets use the classic 'bait and switch'. If you buy something, insist on carrying it yourself else what arrives in the post might not be what you bargained for. A carpet shop named 'Kanu carpets' is particularly infamous for this. It is prudent to stray clear of shady looking establishments.

Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri

Mosque in Fatehpur Sikri

• Bharatpur is about 56 km from Agra and houses the famous bird sanctuary in which you can see thousands of rare birds including Siberian Crane. The Lohagarh Fort remained invincible despite several attacks by the British. Just 32 km from Bharatpur is the Deeg Palace. This strong and massive fort was the summer resort of the rulers of Bharatpur and has many palaces and gardens.
• Fatehpur Sikri ghost city is a UNESCO world heritage site about 40 km from Agra. Built in the 16th century by the Emperor Akbar, the "City of Victory" was the capital of the Mughal Empire for a brief decade and was abandoned in 1586 due to inadequate local water supplies and proximity to the Rajputana areas in the North-West, which were increasingly in turmoil. It includes one of the largest mosques in India, the Jama Masjid. Full of well preserved palaces and courtyards, it is a must see for anyone visiting Agra. In order to get a full idea of this site it is better to take a guide (₹450 for 2h for its free entry part) or have a good printed guide. Entry to the site of the mosque (even to the yard) is only without wearing footwear. The vehicle parking is about a kilometre away and Agra Development Authority (ADA) runs some rickety non air conditioned buses to the site entrance, fare is ₹10 per person one way. Entry to the fort area where the palaces are located is ₹610 for foreigners.
• Mathura is said to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. There are many beautiful temples in Mathura, including the one built at Shri Krishna's birthplace.
• Nandgaon was the home of Shri Krishna`s foster father, Nand. On the top of the hill is the spacious temple of Nand Rai, built by the Hat ruler Roop Singh. The other temples here are dedicated to Narsingha, Gopinath, Nritya Gopal, Girdhari, Nand Nandan, and Yasodha Nandan, which is half-way up the hill. Nandgaon springs into action every year around March for the festival of Holi, when many tourists flock to the city for the famous "lath mar holi".
• National Chambal Sanctuary, (70 km away) is a natural sanctuary and the home of the endangered Indian gharial (a relative of the crocodile) and of the Ganges River Dolphin (also endangered).
• Vrindavan is also a religious place around 50 km from Agra, and quite close to Mathura. There are many temples here devoted to Lord Krishna, a few of the more famous of which are Banke Bihari and the Iskcon Temple.

Eslatma: Do not rely on private luxury buses and travel agencies as they are very expensive and may drop you to your destination late. They'll also tell you that the bus is direct to the destination but in reality it's not.
