The '''Agra Subah''' was a [[subah]] of the [[Mughal Empire]], established in the reign of [[Akbar]] and one of the empire's core territories until it was eclipsed by the rapidly expanding [[Maratha Empire]]. To the north it bordered [[Delhi Subah|Delhi]] and [[Awadh Subah|Awadh]], to the east [[Ilahabad Subah|Ilahabad]], and to the south and west [[Malwa Subah|Malwa]] and [[Ajmer Subah|Ajmer]]. Its capital was at [[Agra]], an important administrative center of the empire which was expanded under Mughal rule.

==Administrative divisions==

The province was divided into 13 ''[[Sarkar (country subdivision)|sarkar]]s'' during the reign of Akbar.<ref>Abul Fazl-i-Allami (1949, reprint 1993). ''Ain-i-Akbari'', Vol.II (English tr. by H.S. Jarrett, rev. by J.N. Sarkar), Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, p. 190</ref>
