Red Fort - Palace, the Mogul's residence
The name Agra has its origin in the former name "Agraban" which comes from Sanscrit and means "paradise". Marvelous treasures of art, architectural masterpieces and charming gardens bear witness of the splendor, riches,  skill and appreciation of art in those days.
