Agra,
the city of the Taj Mahal and once the capital of the Mughal empire, has
several monuments which display the splendour of Mughal architecture.
It was here that Babar, the founder of the dynasty, had the first formal
Persian garden laid out on the banks of the river Yamuna.

Is
the most boisterous of all Hindu festivals, observed all over the North. It
heralds the end of winter and the beginning of the Spring. The night before
the full moon, crowds of people gather together and light huge bonfires to burn
the residual dried leaves and twigs of the winter. People throw coloured water
and powders (gulal and kumkum) at each other and make merry. Singing and dancing
add to the gaiety of the occasion.
In the northern, western as well as eastern regions, Holi celebrates the joyful raasleela of Krishna and the gopis. They play phag which is a game of many colourful hues. It is a joyous celebration of the rejuvenation of nature, and renewed hope of happiness and peaceful coexistence. Especially famous is the Lathmaar Holi of Barsana and Nandgaon. In Anandpur Sahib, Sikhas celebrate a special festival Hola Mohalla on the day after Holi . It marks a display of ancient martial arts and mock battles.
Holi is also an occasion for the celebration of the burning of Kama, the Hindu cupid, with the fire that emanated from Lord Shiva's third eye.
