Passing by Agra Fort – A Glimpse into India’s Royal Past
As we drive past the majestic Agra Fort, take a moment to admire one of India’s grandest Mughal fortresses. Built in red sandstone by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site once served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors.

Mankameshwar Temple is a hidden spiritual gem dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that Lord Shiva himself installed the Shivling here during his visit to Mathura after Lord Krishna’s birth. The name “Mankameshwar” means “the god who fulfills wishes.”
The temple is not just a place of worship—it’s a step back into history and culture. You’ll see:
Devotees offering milk, flowers, and prayers to the ancient Shivling.
Local traditions and rituals, especially vibrant during Mondays and Mahashivratri.

Step into the Serenity of Jama Masjid – Agra’s Timeless Mosque
Located right across from Agra Fort, Jama Masjid is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in India. Built in 1648 by Empress Jahanara Begum, daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan, this stunning red sandstone mosque is a peaceful retreat from the busy streets of the city.

Explore the Colorful Spice Market of Agra – A Feast for the Senses!

Hidden in the narrow lanes near Rawatpara and Kinari Bazaar, Agra’s local spice market is a true sensory adventure. Here, the air is filled with the rich aroma of cardamom, clove, cinnamon, turmeric, and countless other spices that define Indian cooking.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll witness and explore:
Marble Inlay Work – The same art used in decorating the Taj Mahal, where semi-precious stones are delicately carved and set into marble.
Zardozi Embroidery – A luxurious hand-embroidery style once used to decorate royal robes, made with gold and silver threads, beads, and sequins.
