Do you know who was Birbal? A lot of people might be knowing who he is, he was the favorite and the most cleverly witty courtier of Akbar the great. It is been said that he was one of his nine gems and used to solve all the problems of the great emperor.<\/p>\n

This great man had a palace in Agra, which still stands tall and looks beautiful and amazing with red bricks studded on it; this tomb is been made up in true Mughal architectural style<\/strong> and looks heavenly for a courtier\u2019s palace to look like.\u00a0 Visit the place and experience something very different<\/a> in your Agra tour.<\/p>\n

Take a Tonga Ride:<\/h2>\n

When you are done with the visit of the greatest monument of Agra Taj Mahal<\/a>, get out from the western gate which is the nearest to the Agra fort. Take a Tonga from here and travel until the agar fort with this. A Tonga is a kind of a bullock cart, which is been moved with the help of Camels or horses, this proves the significance of the Mughal rulers and their Royalty in the city<\/strong>, take a ride on the cart and reach the Agra fort. The Tonga\u2019s are been colorfully decorated with clothes patterned things to make it look royal and classy.<\/p>\n

Do not forget to take a few pictures with the Tonga and you sitting in it.<\/p>\n

Visit the Tomb of Akbar the Great:<\/h2>\n

Who does not know the greatness of the best king amongst the Mughal dynasty? Akbar the great was one of the greatest king even in the history of India; he was the one who never levied any taxes on Hindus or on the Muslims. He was the one who thought that all men and women are same and there should be no partiality in them.<\/p>\n

The tomb of such a ruler was been developed in Sikandara but could not gain a huge name as it was a beautiful site but was not that huge, and it became unnoticed. The beauty of the deep red stones<\/strong> and calligraphy<\/a> on it makes it a visual treat to look at and photograph it.<\/p>\n

The street food of the city<\/a> is so delicious and tasty you would not leave your fingers untested. The royal food is one side of the city but what we get on small shops of the street is magic created<\/strong> to spell bound the person who is hungry. Whenever you are in Agra take a day out and eat nothing lavish but just the junk foods of the streets like the gol- gappas, samosa, parantha, jalebi, chicken tikka, dalmoth, chat, chola- bhatura and what not. Instagram those pictures and tease your friends with the lavish and mouth- watering food pictures and see them getting jealous.<\/p>\n

Walk by the Colonial Structure:<\/h2>\n

The myth that Agra is just a palace of Mughal rule is not a right decision to make. Agra was one of the cities, which has a lot to showcase<\/strong> from the British rule in India as well, go on a walk or a ride to see some churches, libraries, buildings which are as old as that of the British Raj In India. One should visit these two also while on a tour of Agra to make the visit a complete package<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the Taj Mahotsav:<\/h2>\n
