The Crown Prince Couple's visit to India - day 1

From 26 February until 1 March 2023 The Crown Prince Couple is on a visit to India to lead the business promotional campaign, which includes a total of 38 Danish companies. The Indian cities New Delhi, Chennai and Agra are the setting for the official visit and a green business promotional campaign which focuses on water and energy in India. On the first day of the visit The Crown Prince Couple visited India’s famous marble monument Taj Mahal located near the northern India city Agra, which previously was the capital of the Great Mughals. Here, the Great Mughal Shah Jahan built a monument to his late wife Mumtaz Mahal during the years of 1632-1653.

It was the Great Mughal Shah Jahan – the Taj Mahal’s builder – who completed the fort in its current form around 400 years ago. From the fort, Shah Jahan could for the rest of his life – some of the years spent under house arrest after losing power to his son – view his wife’s memorial monument, Taj Mahal.
