This sets the tone for being shown the excellent array of beautifully crafted items for sale. The owner, Virender Sing, son Rahul and other staff are extremely welcoming and hospitable. They are also consummate salesmen, so I'd advise not entering with a limitless budget !
The variety of carved, inlaid marble items is huge and very impressive. I believe this is the only place producing these works of art. They also produce jewellery items with star rubies and star sapphires. Lovely place to visit (with caution!) if you're looking for very special gifts for friends, relatives or yourself.
I bought a few too many items, my favourites shown in the photo. They arrived in Thailand on time and expertly packed. NO Chance of any breakages.

The premises are well maintained, be prepared to remove your footwear to enter the temple.Written 20 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Uksteve7 contributionsInteresting, but then became unsure how authentic and unique it all is based on the hard sell. Some very nice products but overpriced. However, on a short trip sometimes there’s no time to bargain shop and I like what I boughtWritten 7 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ethelberga HGrantham, UK637 contributionsSt Georges Anglical cathedral is beautiful to see with lots of carving in marble especially the bishop's chair- the cathedra. It is poignant to see the memorials to those who died during the colonial era, especially when they were children who died from disease. Enjoyed looking at the pews with the notches for placing a rifle for the soldiers. Beautiful Holy altar in white marble.Written 22 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- SaurabhmhaHyderabad, India75 contributionsI always had the desire to visit Bateshwar, the abode of Shiva while crossing Agra - Lucknow expressway and finally made a decision to take a detour one day and it was worth it.
Its a set of some 40 temples out of which only few can be visited but the place is so peaceful on the banks of Yamuna that it attracts you towards it.It is generally not very crowded and one can sit on the banks of Yamuna in the early morning or evenings.
Do carry your own stuff to eat and there are no proper toilets and stay arrangements.I wish such an important place (mentioned in many religious scriptures) is better maintained!Written 4 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
