Three Knots, Three Wishes: Knot Three - Agra Fort

Finally, the last part of the series is here! 

                                         

After the Taj Mahal, we headed to the Agra Fort in the evening. For me, the fort was the most favourite part of the whole trip!
Here are a few photos from the tour of the fort,

The tour of the fort was quite short, as 75% of the area has been delegated to the army. So unlike other forts in India where one can feel the magnitude and enormity of the fort walls by walking through the whole fort or climbing up its steep hills, here one paid more attention to the delicate cravings and their meanings in each of the structure, Shah Jahan and Mumtaz's famous love story, his infamous feud with his son Aurangzeb and his life with his daughters (the lesser known) Jahanara and Roshanara Begum. 

It was exciting yet a bit scary to be able to walk through these walls with a bag pack and a camera, when once there was life in this palace, filled with many of the queen's maids, king's soldiers and the royal family itself, who lived and breathed in the same place that we do now.
