Athenian travelers embarking on Agra tours discover fascinating parallels between ancient Greek architectural philosophy and Mughal design principles. The Doric columns of the Parthenon, with their emphasis on strength and simplicity, contrast beautifully with the delicate inlay work and ornate details of Mughal monuments, yet both represent the pinnacle of their respective civilizations' artistic achievements.
The concept of the agora as a central gathering place in ancient Athens resonates with the Mughal tradition of creating grand courtyards and public spaces.
