Agra Fort & the Old Bazaar
Fort & Kinari
The Great Mughals' red fort and Kinari Bazaar's wedding tinsel.
Mughal Agra before the Taj: the red fort where Shah Jahan spent his last years gazing from a tower at his wife's mausoleum, and the old city beyond its walls: Kinari Bazaar's wedding tinsel, panchhi petha at every shop, the Jama Masjid above the rows. Take a guide for the fort: without the stories it's walls; with them, a dynasty's drama.
