The construction of the Taj commenced in 1631, and was completed in 1653. Workers were gathered from all over the country and from Central Asia, and about 20,000 people were recruited to translate this wild dream into a reality.

Armed with massive double walls, punctuated by four gateways, the fort houses palaces, courts, mosques, baths, gardens and gracious pavilions within its premises.

Abhaneri, which means “The City of brightness”, is a small town village famous for its amazing 'Baoris' (step wells) and Harshat Mata Temple.
