If you’re the Mughal Emperor and you’ve got a Taj Mahal standing around on your property, you probably want to have a strong fort next to it to scare away your rivals. That is my (completely untrue) theory behind the existence of the Agra Fort.
Yesterday, we did a hurried tour through the fort – sunset was fast approaching and we needed the sun in order to take good pictures.
I guess that if the Taj Mahal wasn’t in the same town, people would flock here to see the fort on its own – it is that impressive. In the end, the sunset light made for some pretty cool pictures.
