What travellers are saying
- ray raposoMiami, FL1,423 contributionsAlways wanted visit this magnificent white marble mausoleum in Agra. Finally got to experience this larger than life masterpiece. We had to get up really early to get nearby and then ride a small tram to the entrance and a long line. All this happened before sunrise. Once we got inside of a primary building we walked out to the large courtyard gardens and the Taj Mahal in the center, sided by a mosque and guest building as the sun rose. To walk inside you must cover your shoes with provided booties. Inside are the tombs of the Shah and his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who he had the mausoleum built for. There are many people but it doesn't feel too crowded due to the large area of gardens and size of the buildings.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- QueenbeeLondon, UK229 contributionsVisited today.Quite sad to think the emperor Jahan was imprisoned here by his so. Who also killed his brother, so much for family values and spells out greed and power.Nonetheless what a view of the Taj Mahal from here…not a bad prison cellWritten 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,729 contributionsThe Chini ka Rauza was built in 1639 by Mullah Shukhrulla Shirazi or Allama Afzal Khan, the prime minister of Shahjahan; he built the tomb for himself, following a tradition used by several others. Where Afzal Khan differed was in the architectural style he chose, a combination of Persian and Afghan styles.
The Chini ka Rauza is named for the 'chini' ('porcelain' or tilework) that decorates it. When you approach the tomb from the road in front, the facade looks very shabby, with only very scattered bits of tiles in various shades of blue visible. But persevere; go around to the sides, and you'll see a lot more tilework, with lovely colours and intricate detailing.
While the inside of the tomb looks unprepossessing from outside, it's worth it to go inside: there's some lovely painting and vaulted netting on the inside of the dome.
No entry fees are charged for Chini ka Rauza.Written 1 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I had visited to this place in June and what a place it is. Beautiful monument on the bank of river yamuna and calmness in the atmosphere. In addition to being a scenic place and have a numerous place which make it a picture perfect but this is also an idle destination to realise your love. This place has something different which will make you feel happy , energetic and attracted toward your loved ones. Must visit place.Written 25 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsTo my mind, this is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal. As the sun rises, to burn off the early morning mist, the Taj Mahal begins to show its splendour. This time of the day is a photographer's paradise and, surprisingly, there's no crowds of people.Written 2 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsImmediately to the rear of the Anguri Bagh gardens is the Khas Mahal (Armgah-i-Mualla). This elegant, pillared, white marble building, painted with floral motifs, was Shah Jahan's private palace and its beauty is a reflection of Shah Jahan's love of beautifult things. Overlooking the Yamuna River, it is not surprising that it has views of the Taj Mahal. The building stands on a white marble plinth underneath which there is a two-storey building. One of the rooms of this underground building contains a gallows on which offenders "of the harem's chastity" were executed. Entry to this underground complex is not permitted. On either side of the Khas Mahal there are two exquisite pavilions which were apparently used by Shah Jahan's daughters, Jahan-Ara and Roshan-Ara. A beautiful building on top of a dark secret.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsLooking like it is made out of white marble while, actually, it is red brick covered with white plaster, the Golden Pavilion of Roshan Ara in Agra Fort is smaller than the other buildings around it but just as beautiful. It is not know what this building was actually used for but it is believed to have been used by Roshanara Begum, one of the daughters of Shah Jahan. It stands right on the edge of the wall of the fort and has a stunning view of the Taj Mahal.Written 3 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsIn the Agra Fort standing in front of Jahangiri Mahal is Jahangir's large bath tub. Carved out of a single block of stone this bath tub measures 5 feet from top to bottom, 8 feet from side to side and 25 feet round. Quite big isn't it? Especially, when viewed against the gateway of Jahangiri Mahal. There is a Persian inscription around the rim but the only part of it which can be read says that it dates from 1611. Looking at it, the only thing I wonder is, unless it was sunk into the floor, how did he get into it?Written 4 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsOriginally known as Akbar Darwaza and only used by the Mugal emperor Akbar and his personal followers, the gate was renamed Amar Singh Gate by Shah Jahan. Mainly plain in decoration, it's massive and you cannot help but feel dwarfed as you walk through it into Agra Fort.Written 4 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsUnfortunately, entry to the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) in the Agra Fort was not allowed on the day we were at the Fort. I have no idea of the reason for this but it was a shame because, if the interior of this building is as interesting and as beautiful as the exterior, then we missed out on seeing something magnificent.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK17,814 contributionsThe Machchhi Bhawan in Agra Fort is a fairly large two storey building surrounding a grass courtyard. Although the courtyard is just grass today, at one time it contained ponds and tanks full of highly coloured fish. These fish were purely for the Maharaja's entertainment and gave the area (fish square) its name. Of particular interest are the white lime designs on the upper floor.Written 1 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
