Agra Fort

The Main Gate
Agra was the seat of the imperial Mughal court during the 16th and 17th centuries, before the capital was shifted to delhi.  Situated on the west bank of the Yamuna, Agra Fort was built by Emperor Akbar.

The arches of the Diwan l Aam

The Monkeys are everywhere!
We saw one take a bite out of some Ausy Tourist guy when he took
 a photo of it

The colors of the Saris really brighten
up this country

I particularly like this shot as it shows the difference in dress
between the generations
