Shopper's Paradise: Shopping In Agra

Agra, the city of magnificent Taj Mahal in the state of Uttar Pradesh is famous primarily for its marble and soft stone in lay work. Shilpgram is a crafts village and an open - air emporium, stocking handicrafts from all over the country and is the ideal destination for the lovers of Art.

Visit Agra during the Taj Mahotsav (festival) around February and enjoy live performances of dance and music by renowned artists.

Also Sadar Bazar, Tajganj, Kinari Bazar, Munro Road, Pratap Pura, Gwalior Road which brush each other are the main bazaars of Agra towards the south. It is advisable not to heed to the persuasions of touts at any of these markets. This area is generally full of life as all tourist related services, hotels, showrooms, etc. are in abundance here. It is also adjoining the cantonment area, but slighty away from the main Agra railway station which is towards the north. Take with you some sweets which are rare in taste like the Petha and Gazak. Should you prefer some snaky item with a bit of spice ask for Dalmoth.
