Taj Mahotsav: Experience the Magic of Incredible India

“You know Shah Jahan, life and youth, wealth and glory, they all drift away in the current of time. You strove therefore, to perpetuate only the sorrow of your heart? Let the splendor of diamond, pearl and ruby vanish? Only let this one teardrop, this Taj Mahal, glisten spotlessly bright on the cheek of time, forever and ever.”?—Rabindranath Tagore

Taj Mahal is the epitome of love and devotion and is one of the World’s Seven Wonders. Just as the monument forms an intrinsic part of India’s cultural heritage, the Taj Mahotsav, a nine-day carnival, is the culmination of the nation’s incredible spirit.

It is one of the most eagerly awaited festivals, organized by the Taj Mahotsav Committee and presented by Commissioner Agra Division Agra.
