Airport News: The fort which every foreign tourist coming to India wants to see at least once, will soon have its exact glimpse in the new terminal building of an airport. Yes, we are talking about the new international airport to be built in Agra city of Uttar Pradesh. Airport Authority of India (AAI) is preparing to start the construction of Agra’s new international airport soon.
According to a senior official of the Airport Authority of India, the design of the new terminal of Agra International Airport has almost been finalized. The concept of local art and architecture has been kept for the new terminal building. At the same time, when we talk about the architecture of Agra, the first thing that will be talked about will be Taj Mahal and Fatehpur Sikri. Therefore, efforts are being made to give the new terminal of Agra a glimpse of Fatehpur Sikri.
Agra’s new terminal will look something like this.
Which parts of the fort will you get a glimpse of?
The new terminal of Agra Airport will have tall carved pillars on both sides, over which there will be a big dome. The concept of these carved pillars and dome has been taken from the Jodhabai Palace of Fatehpur Sikri Fort. Also, the design of the external pillars of the new passenger building of Agra Airport has been taken from the decorative balconies found in the Fatehpur Sikri complex. Apart from this, efforts are also being made to create artefacts used in the fort in the walls and pillars.
