The Taj Mahal, has been declared as one of the seven wonders of the world.
Its majestic beauty reflects true love and passion of one's beloved. The atmosphere around the Taj Mahal of Agra is serene and contains a sense of devotion and separation.
The beautifully sculptured gardens of the Taj Mahal of Agra further add to the mystic view of the Taj.
Visiting the Taj Mahal of Agra is not enough, for the real visit of Agra one must also explore the city of Agra. One must try to explore the streets of Agra using the cycle rickshaw. The rickshaw driver, a local of the city of Agra will expertly navigate his way through the old street, narrow lanes, and the ethnic bazaars of the city. This trip will educate you on the authentic wares and living style of the people living in Agra. The old palatial bungalows of Agra are picturesque as they especially huddled amongst huge trees of neem, banyan, peepal etc. This proves to be a refreshing sight and takes one back into the past of colonial raj.

Another prominent sight in Agra will be the kites. Kite flying is a favourite hobby of the people living in city of the Taj Mahal ie Agra. The presence of a kite bazaar even today reflects its popularity and how deep this hobby is imbibed in the people of Agra. Even today kite flying challenges are held every Sunday and heavy betting takes place.
While on a city tour of Agra one should make it a point to visit the Kinari Bazar - the main market area, the Loha Mandi - Iron Market and the Sabzi Mandi ie the vegetable market. |
These markets are being used since centuries now. However the Nai Ki Mandi ( Barber's Market) has assumed a new role of dealing in textiles.The area to the south of the Taj Mahal of Agra is called Taj Ganj. It houses most of the budget hotels of Agra amidst it intricate maze of alleys and lanes.
