series of arcades, tapering to a marble cloister, which seems to float on the top.

stone. Visit Agra Fort - behind its forbidding red sandstone battlements lie palaces that tell the story of the
Moghul Empire. The most impressive part of the Fort is the Dewan-e-Am, where the Emperor sat on his throne to
dispense to his subjects, and the Dewan-e-Khas where he received foreign dignitaries. The Taj Mahal is closed
to visitors on Fridays. A brief visit is also made to the marble inlay workshop- where one can see the art that
went into the inlay work at the Taj Mahal. This workshop has brought back into India this almost forgotten art

semi-precious stones.
