★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Agra Fort was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty till 1638.
The Agra fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
it was built with bricks in the inner core with sandstone on external surfaces.
Some 4,000 builders worked on it daily for eight years, completing it in 1573.
At the end of his life, Shah Jahan was restrained by his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort.
Shah Jahan died in Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with a view of the Taj Mahal
The 94 acre fort has a semicircular plan,
it lies parallel to the river and its walls are seventy feet high.
Double ramparts have massive circular bastions at intervals, with battlements, embrasures, machicolations and string courses.
Four gates were provided on its four sides, one gate opening on to the river.
Two of the fort's gates are notable: the "Delhi Gate" and the "Lahore Gate."
The monumental Delhi Gate, which faces the city on the western side of the fort, is considered the grandest of the four gates and a masterpiece of Akbar's time.
It was built circa 1568 both to enhance security and as the king's formal gate, and includes features related to both.
It is embellished with inlay work in white marble.
A wooden drawbridge was used to cross the moat and reach the gate from the mainland;
inside, an inner gateway called "Elephant Gate" added another layer of security.
500 buildings in the beautiful designs of Bengal and Gujarat were built in the fort.
Some of them were demolished by Shah Jahan to make way for his white marble palaces.
Most of the others were destroyed by the British between 1803 and 1862 for raising barracks.
Hardly thirty Mughal buildings have survived on the south-eastern side, facing the river.
Of these, the Delhi Gate and Akbar Gate and one palace – "Bengali Mahal" – are representative Akbari buildings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Digamber Jain idol of Bhagwan Shitalnath is placed in Swetamber Jain Temple...
But Swetamber Jain of the Temple are very rude and not allowed even to perform Abhishek of Bhagwan Shitalnath..
Very painful to see..
But idol of Bhagwan Shitalnath is very beautiful and I feel very peaceful and relaxing while see the idol.
