Kalakriti's  Mohabbat-e-Taj performance is exceptional. For anyone who is interested in a musical history of The Taj it's a must do. The actors, the costumes, the stage, the performance ..everything is just awesome. The ticket prices are steep but then its totally worth it. And at the end the replica of Taj that is displayed is equally amazing, weighing a whopping 8 Tons+ and made over a period of 10 years, it itself is a marvel. There is also a photo ops opportunity at the end of the show.  Honestly the show requires a bit of a mature audience, the kids may not be able to appreciate the show. Also the base language is Urdu but headphone translations are available in about 11 languages.  Lastly the auditorium itself is a piece of architecture made with Makrana marble (the type of marble used for the Taj itself). 

Kalakriti complex is multipurpose institution. It hosts presentation areas, exhibits, sales and a theater. We visited twice. First time we came for the presentation of the art and production of inlaid marble as well as many other products. We had a chance to view intricate inlay work on marble done in front of us. At the entrance we could see the mementos of the visits of many famous people including Bill and Hilary Clinton. We visited also their other show rooms. On another occasion we came in the evening to the theater to view the play about the history of the Taj Mahal. The theater performance was very entertaining and educational, well done, colorful and easy to follow.

this was an interesting enough performance, but expensive at about AU$70 (We booked for our tour guide so no doubt he got a cut… Not sure how much it is directly) for a show that lasts about an hour to 1.5 hours. Interesting show, and it is sung in Hindi, but to keep up with the spoken bits it has headsets at each chair that have 20 languages, we had English language, and while the system works in terms of Listening to a translation the volume made it a bit hard to hear. If you’re not too worried about spending a couple of bucks on a night out, I’d recommend you do this so you can just tick it off as something done, interesting but it’s no Phantom of the Opera.
