8. Agra, Uttar Pradesh
Agra, a small town in the heart of India needs no introduction for the simple reason that it has Taj Mahal—an epitome of love. The famous poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore described it as ‘a teardrop on the cheek of eternity’ and as per Rudyard Kipling it is ‘the embodiment of all things pure’. Emperor Shah Jahan who built it described it as the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes’. If you ever visit India, don’t miss Taj Mahal. One glance upon this stunning structure of marble and you will be forced to think about the depth of love the Emperor had for his third wife -Mumtaz Mahal. Widely recognized as a life-changing site, Taj Mahal is also an UNESCO designated World Heritage Site.
