Agra

Agra, on the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, was a capital of the Mughal Empire and the site of the Taj Mahal. It is connected here to the modernist reformer and educationist Sayyid Ahmad Khan (d. 1898), who served as a colonial-era judicial officer in the North-Western Provinces, of which Agra was an administrative centre, during his career.
