- Patty FOmaha, Nebraska8 contributionsBeautiful marble products!I have purchased from Agra Art Gallery during two trips to India - the first in 2017 and recently in 2023. They have a wonderful selection of marble products, all of which are beautiful and extremely well made. The people who work there are extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any questions, especially Virender and Rahul. They stand behind the quality of their items and want to ensure their customers are happy with their new heirlooms. They honor their shipping policy and ensure that items shipped are well protected and inform customers on shipping status. I will continue to come back to the Agra Art Gallery for further marble purchases when I return to Agra!Visited August 2023Travelled on businessWritten 9 October 2023
- Bauke Ruben v3 contributionsNext level craftmanshipMr Vivenden Pal Singh showed us very passionately how marble art is made traditionally. They are real masters at the craft. We bought a wonderful vase with beautiful detailing. Definitely a must see when going to Agra. It will enhance your taj mahal experience by a lot. Next time we will definitely visit Agra Art Gallery againVisited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 November 2023
- Relax314035751282 contributionsWorth a visit!Fantastic store. Very knowledgeable family run store over multiple generations. Lots of beautiful items to look at. Friendly staff. Would recommend visiting here after a trip to the Taj Mahal!Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 December 2023
- Loredana Z1 contributionGreat artExtraordinary place with beautiful pieces of arts. The owner family welcomed us very warmly. The father and his two sons are very nice people. The father is a special person and a great artist. If you go there, you will see how the design of Taj Mahal were made and - if you wish - you can buy unique and precious objects.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 January 2024
- Roldan R4 contributionsVery well done!!!!We were greeted with warmth as soon as we stepped into the gallery by Kim, Rahul, and the patriarch of the family. Hearing about the family's history and how their craft has been passed down through generations, as well as seeing one of their artists in action, has been an enthralling experience. There were many varieties of masterpieces available, and they are all really impressive. We managed to purchase a small Taj Majal's marble slab. We asked them to ship the item to our home in Abu Dhabi because we were on our way to yet another destination. In less than seven days, Abu Dhabi received the package. We greatly admire the family's adherence to their promise. Very well done!!!!Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 16 January 2024
- MaisieKingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom2 contributionsA MUST if visiting Taj MahalMyself and my partner bought this beautiful marble table from this wonderful place. We were made to feel so welcome and was even lucky enough to see one of the artists at work. The time and craftsmanship which goes into every item is unbelievable. We met Rahul and his Father who were lovely people. Rahul ensure that our table got to us securely and safely. I’m so honoured to own a piece of history and cannot wait for it to be displayed in my home for many many yearsVisited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 February 2024
- NickKates NUnited Kingdom4 contributionsA must do in AgraWe enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Agra Art Gallery - the demonstration and explanation of the ancient craftsmanship handed down through multiple generations was fascinating and very much enhanced our earlier visit to the Taj Mahal. All of the staff were unfailingly friendly and informative, without a "hard sell" to purchase any of the wonderful products on display. Needless to say however, we all did - now promptly and safely delivered to the UK. Highly recommendedVisited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 19 March 2024
- Resort655562847561 contributionBeautiful family and beautiful artWe stumbled across this gorgeous family run studio on our visit to Agra. After being shown the traditional techniques used to decorate the Taj Mahal we were given the freedom to wander through the studio and admire the beautiful art. Knowing we wanted to purchase a piece to serve as a souvenir of our time in India we were graciously shown numerous items - everyone was so patient as I liked bits of one and other parts of another. When we couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for Kim and his father Virender kindly offered to make us a bespoke piece. We worked together to come up with a design that my husband and I both loved. We were so delighted when it arrived and it is even more beautiful than we could have envisioned. We had a slight hiccup with the table but Kim was so helpful, going above and beyond and fixing the issue post haste. Now every time I walk past I cannot help but smile at its beauty and the memories of a once in a lifetime trip.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 12 September 2024
- Stephen H3 contributionsPurchase of exquisite art from Agra GalleryI was introduced to the techniques of working with marble and precious stones to create some exquisite art. An account of the process as practiced historically was provided. I purchased a marble table top with inlays to create a beautiful design, the “Tree of Life.” The business end was handled professionally and with integrity. The piece of art was shipped securely to my home address. I recommend Agra Art Gallery to anyone looking for quality art and secure merchandising.Visited May 2024Travelled soloWritten 13 September 2024
- MT P11 contributionsLearning about these art techniques made visiting India's treasured sites even more memorable.At the Agra Art Gallery, we learned about the amazing traditional craftsmanship involved in the creation of marble artworks inlaid with semi-precious stones, which can be seen in the Taj Majal and other majestic sites in India. The gallery was filled with an astonishing array of beautiful items—as can be seen in the photo gallery on this webpage. It is hard to imagine the amount of work that the artisans have put in to create such masterpieces. I purchased a beautiful table with an inlaid marble top featuring lapis, malachite, and carnelian. The gallery sent it to me in the U.S.A. via UPS and wrapped the package extremely well, ensuring it was delivered without any damage. Every time I look at it now in my home, it serves as a marvelous memento of our new found appreciation of this traditional art form and our wonderful trip to India.Visited July 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 15 September 2024

We were brought to this shop after seeing the Taj Mahal. The shop is clean and filled with impressive craftsmanship. The owner and his staff were super friendly and plied us with tea, beer, etc. They showed us how the inlay process works, and then we each proceeded to choose and buy several pieces. I spent WAY more than I anticipated, but since I didn't anticipate going there at all, that's not saying a lot. The important thing is that I don't regret my purchases one bit - given the level of craftsmanship, I think the value for money is there. The items I bought were shipped maybe 10 days later, were extremely well packed, and arrived safely with lots of communication.
Warning: the staff will give you a hard sell, so if you're not used to that, be prepared. But c'mon, it's India - you have to expect that :)

During our visit in Agra in december 2019 we bought a wonderful marble inlay table in Agra Art Gallery. Meanwhile in february 2020 we received in Germany that table with stand and a marble elephant given as a present and all three pieces are in a wonderful condition. This a is nice memory for us and we are glad to have it at our home-place.
Thanks for all and many greetings to Rahul Wahlia and his father, hope to meet you in Europe and we are wishing you all the best for 2020!!
many greetings from here,

We came to Agra Art Gallery as a recommendation of our driver from Delhi who had a brother they worked there. We were warmly welcomed into the store.
The white marble art on the store is amazing. We ended up ordering a customs table and coaster which had to be shipped.
Rahul was great, keeping in constant communication as shipment of the items was delayed due to Covid-19. The items were finally shipped in June, and arrived here in perfect condition.
I want to thank Rahul and his father for hosting me in their store, and for keeping this type of art alive in Agra and India.

Fascinating place!
Everybody at the atelier was friendly and kind and wanted to tell stories about the craft and the history of the fantastic art of incrusting marble with semi-precious stones.
I don't want to write down any names for privacy reasons, but I must say that the head of the shop (and a representative of the whole industry) and his son were exciting and helpful.
It was the only place ("shop type") in India that I have been to, and I didn't feel like a) I was being cheated on and b) people were pushy to sell. They were this shop/atelier that handles sales in brilliant - we present works of art and tell you the prices > we would appreciate if you support the art and buy some off of wares > no pushy feeling > I purchased a set of coasters, candle holder and a table all made from white marble and decorated with carnelian stones. And I must say it is stunning!
It is highly recommended!
P.S. The shipping process took a bit more than expected, but I was being contacted through the whole process, and sometimes things happen in transport.

We visited this shop as part of a tour, despite the package not stating we would've been brought here.
We went in, they had very nice products and showed us what they had on offer. They then pushed us to spend more money than we would of ever wanted to on their products. We were naïve and inexperienced, they pushed enough and we caved in and bought more than we should of.
Once we left the shop and finished our tour we immediately regretted buying the products.
Since leaving the store one of the staff has been texting me repeatedly, using my number off the order form, and has been pestering me to give him a review.
So here it is that review they so wanted.

Inside of the shop is surrounded by beautiful marble arts that make you relaxed and relieved. I’m sure that their works have a kind of spiritual power that gives you calm mind.
All staff was very friendly and helpful. They warmly welcomed me and showed me lots of goods. No pressure though.
What I’m trying to say is “Agra Art Gallery” is one of the best places you must visit in Agra.

The most beautiful hand crafted pieces of marble and precious stones i have ever seen. It was an honor to see all the exquisite art. My girlfriend and I spent hours admiring the most complex hand produced masterpieces imaginable. We ordered a marble table and jewelry, which shipped to our house back in the united states arriving safely.

Its was indeed a wonderful experience with Bittu and his sons in the gallery. They are simply amazing and very profesional with their approach and recommendation on what I need. We choose 3 pieces of Marbles that was so beautiful for our new house. Price is not what you will bother with those beautiful pieces in front of your eyes. Me and Bittu became good friends after we knew we had the same interest - scuba diving and making the country a better place for everyone. I will strongly recommend everyone visiting Agra to stop in this gallery to own a piece of the amazing marbles.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our vist to Agra Art Gallery. We were shown the fine work that is done with white marble and semi precious stones creating the most beautiful items ranging from small plates to large table tops. The workmanship is superb and with intricacies that can only be described as fine art. The service was excellent as the owner, his sons and employees made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend a visit to this gallery if one is interested in this type of art.

This place was a great stop during my visit to Agra. My husband and I were welcomed by great people and were comfortable from the beginning. We were offered sodas and tea that we humbly accepted. After the demonstration on how the Taj Mahal was constructed and the marble inlayed, we were shown their pieces for sale. But it wasn’t just a big sales speech, we had genuine conversations about our time there and got to know the shop owners. They answered all our questions and we answered all of theirs. It felt like we were home with friends just catching up and it created a very relaxed environment after almost a week of hectic traveling.
My husband and I knew we wanted to get something for our small home and they brought out the perfect sized piece for our collection. It was a friendly exchange and I recommend this shop to all our friends and family.

Olá estive este mês nesta Galeria, estava com guia e amigos. O rapaz que nos atendeu e mostrou como fazem a incrustação foi muito gentil. Na hora fiquei encantada com o trabalho. Tirei algumas fotos, porem no momento não tinha como comprar uma pequena mesa q nos foi apresentado.
Hoje já em minha casa gostaria de saber se vocês manda aqui em minha casa e como pode ser feito o pagamento e como escolher e preços e tudo mais. Na hora era impossível´a compra pois ainda terímos outras duas cidades. fiquei preocupada com os gastos. Gostaria de informações gerais para a compra de 02 peças. Muito obrigado. Ats Selma Mesquita
