Located in Northern India, Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state and the fourth largest in area. The Taj Mahal, India’s most famous tourist attraction, is located in the city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh. It also has great historic importance as it was home to powerful empires of ancient and medieval India, including Magadha, Nanda, Mauryan, Sunga, Kushan, Gupta, Gurjara, Rashtrakuta, Pala and Mughal which many say was improved by the Nawabs of Awadh. Allahabad and Varanasi are of great religious importance to pilgrims making Uttar Pradesh a must-visit for those who want a taste of India.
