Taj Mahotsav
An annual 10-day gala held at the Shilpgram in Agra with the glorious Taj Mahal in the backdrop - the Taj Mahotsav lights up Agra every year in February.
Utsav literally means 'festive celebration' and the Taj Mahotsav is a celebration of all that is glorious about the ancient land that carries the spectacular Taj Mahal in its bosom. Folk dances, musical recitals, theatrical performances and folk arts exhibitions offer you a wondrous experience while on Agra tours to Uttar Pradesh with Destination India Tourism packages.
Enjoy open-air 'nautanki' of Maharashtra; folk performances from Bundelkhand and Kalbeliya dances performed by artists from Rajasthan, India on Taj Mahotsav tours. The Taj Mahotsav offers a grand platform for indigenous artists to showcase their talent to a large audience from all over India and abroad.
An exclusive food festival is organized during the Taj Mahotsav. Try mouthwatering cuisine from all over India and celebrate India - that is a vibrant mosaic strewn with myriad colors. Feel like as though you're in a 'mini India' with dishes from the north, south, east and west tantalizing your senses with their aromatic perfume.
The Taj Mahotsav is also a great place to be if you're interested in knowing more about the arts and crafts of India. Craftsmen come from all over the country to exhibit and sell their wares.
Shop for textiles made pretty with embroidery, chikan stitches, sequins and beadwork; buy chunky ethnic jewelry, shell crafts, marble cases decorated with inlay work and cane crafts. You can even shop for exquisitely carved wooden furniture at the grand Taj Mahotsav gala with Destination India Tourism.
