Agra History :
Agra has a rich
historical background, which is amply evident from the
numerous historical monuments in and around the city. The
earliest reference for Agra comes from the epical age, when
Mahabharata refer Agra as Agravana. In the sources prior to
this, Agra has been referred as Arya Griha or the
abode of the Aryans. The first person who referred Agra by
its modern name was Ptolemy.

Agra came to its own when Shahjahan ascended to the throne
of Mughal Empire. He marked the zenith of Mughal
architecture, when he built the Taj in memory of his beloved
wife Mumtaz Mahal. In his later years, Shahjahan shifted his
capital to the new city of Shahjahanabad in Delhi and ruled
from there. Shahjahan was dethroned in 1658 by his son,
Aurangzeb who imprisoned him in the Agra Fort. Aurangzeb
shifted the capital back to Agra till his death. After the
death of Aurangzeb, Mughal Empire could not touch its peak
and many regional kingdoms emerged. The post-Mughal era of
Agra saw the rule of the Jats, Marathas and finally the
British taking over the city.

Rajasthan : Amazing
legends of heroism and romance still resound from its
equally amazing architecture, that still stands to narrate
its tale of a bygone era. The magic of Rajasthan is
unequalled in the world for its heritage, culture, safaris,
sand dunes and lush green forests with its wildlife.
Rajasthan is often expressed as huge open-air museum with
relic so well preserved for the travellers and the curious
of the day. It is action-packed with outdoors too; take a
safari on horses, camels, elephants or even jeeps with the
Aravalis - India's oldest mountain range in the backdrop,
or caress your eyes on the sloppy sand dunes, or trail a
tiger or just watch birds on wetland. Or you can choose to
pamper yourself in the lavish heritage properties.
Rajasthan has something for everyone, just choose your
activity.
The history of India dates back almost five thousand years,
and Rajasthan plays a crucial and unique role, especially
with regard to the development of Indian culture. Its
impressive story reaches through a heroic past. Its
extravagant splashes of bright hues against the desert
landscape and the purity of its dry and sandy reaches, the
miniature elegance of its small villages and impeccably
maintained forts brings alive the story of the yore. The
appearance of its grand forts perched on rocky hills still
tell the story of the bravery of its men and the stoic
sacrifice of its women, and the chivalrous old world manners
of all.
At the time of independence on 15th august 1947, Rajasthan
was known Rajputana (country of Rajputs). It comprised of 18
Princely States, two chieftains and a British administered
province of Ajmer-Merwara besides a few pockets and
territories outside its main boundaries.

UTTARANCHAL
Carved out of
the state of Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal chiefly consists of
two hilly divisions, Kumaon and Garhwal. Hindu legends name
this region as Devbhoomi (Land of the Gods) and houses some
of the most important pilgrimage sites in the country.
The Kumaon
and the Garhwal regions are quite similar in terrain,
however they differ in terms of their history, culture and
ethnicity. For example, the Garhwal Himalayas finds place in
the mythological stories of the Puranic period. The
traditional name of Garhwal was Uttarakhand and excavations
have revealed that it formed part of the Mauryan Empire. It
also finds mention in the 7th-century travelogue of Huen
Tsang. However in more recent times, Garhwal came to be
associated with Adi Shankaracharya who established the
Joshimath
and resorted the sacred shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath.
Kumaon has an
equally intriguing history. Certain evidences of stone-age
settlements have been found in Kumaon. The paintings in the
rock shelter at Lakhu Udyar date back to the Mesolithic
period. In the medieval years, Kumaon was the seat of the
Katyuri Dynasty between the 7th and 11th centuries.
Baijinath near Almora was the capital of the dynasty and a
center for art. Temple building flourished under the
Katyuris and the main architectural innovation introduced by
them was the replacement of bricks with hewn stone.
