Monuments of Uttar Pradesh

The monuments of Uttar Pradesh constitute a major pull for the tourists visiting the state. Uttar Pradesh monuments are exemplifications of the incredible artistry and the magic that the deft human hands can weave. There are a number of monuments that distinctly bear the imprints of a particular dynasty. These awe-inspiring human creations are representative of the myriad facets of history, art, architecture, trade and language.

A majority of the memorials of Uttar Pradesh dot the cities like Lucknow, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri which explains why these are regarded as the tourist hub of Uttar Pradesh. Impregnable forts, grand palaces, venerated mosques, revered temples, and monasteries, Uttar Pradesh has all the ingredients that will make your trip a dream come true.

Any discourse on the monuments in Uttar Pradesh must be kick started by a discussion on the Taj Mahal that is often referred to as a poem on marble. This unmatched piece of the architecture is regarded as the most enduring symbols of love. Known for its detailing, exquisite calligraphy and abstract geometric designs, Taj Mahal is bound to inspire awe. The Agra Fort might serve as your next stop-over. Dating back to the reign of Emperor Akbar, the fort incorporates a number of other impressive structures that include The Diwan-i-Am, the beautiful Diwan-i-Khas, the magnificent Moti Masjid, Jehangir Mahal and Sheesh Mahal among others.

Prepare yourself to get lost in the labyrinthine passages of the Bada Imambara which is counted among one of the famous monuments in Uttar Pradesh. Reputed for its Mughal architecture the imambara comprises of as many as 489 identical galleries and corridors that takes the form of intricate puzzle. No wonder it took Asaf-ud-Daula, its illustrious architect, six long years to get it completed. People visiting Uttar Pradesh, or more precisely, Agra, make it a point to pay a visit to Akbar's Mausoleum. Built partly in red sandstone and partly in marble, the mausoleum incorporates two impressive and imposing structures. One is the mausoleum itself and the other is the huge gate called the Buland Darwaza. The mausoleum is flanked by four marble minarets.
