The Bagaan

The Agra Fort is a UNESCO world heritage site (one of three in Agra) and is a site with a lot of Indian history about it. While it has been around since the first Mughal Emperor, Babar, it took its real shape in its current form during the reign on of Shah Jahan. It is a vantage point from where the Taj Mahal can be very clearly seen on any given day.

These gardens (bagaan) lie in the forecourt of the Diwan-e-Khaas (the halls of private audience), and make for an interesting place to stroll through to take in the years of history that this place has to offer – from the Mughals, through the British Raj, to present day India.
