Food is not allowed at Agra Fort, for fear that monkeys will congregate. Monkeys still congregate, but they concentrate on the entrance, where food is confiscated. This monkey is about to make off with some chips -- a feat of athleticism that stopped the crowd in amazement.
The rest of the fort is pretty amazing, too.
Shah Jehan spent his last few years here, locked up after his (least favorite) son took charge. He could see the Taj Mehal in the distance....
...wander through beautiful white marble rooms....
....and gaze at the blue sky, framed by the red of his wonderful fort.
We don't know how he felt about it, but for us, Agra Fort is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
