Agra Shopping
Yes ,it is there.
Agra is also known for its
handicrafts and fine arts traditions.
Your Taj Mahal tour is
incomplete if you return without taking a replica of the Taj
Mahal. It is a mini Taj Mahal that you can take back home. These mini
Taj Mahals are made by local artisans and is must included in every
visitors shopping list.
You can take it as gift
for someone you love.
Some of the fine wok for
which Agra is famous includes marblework, such as
inlaywork of the kind seen within the Taj Mahal.Leather
goods are the other major buying products. All leather
items like bags, shoes, belts, leather jackets etc are
available in various designs.
There are many leather
industries in Agra so leather goods are available in large variety. A
good range of decorative articles made up of metals like
brass, silver, copper are also available.
Sadar
Bazaar, Munro Road and south of Taj Ganj are popular shopping areas in
Agra. Shilpagram, a craft village on the eastern side of Taj Mahal in
Agra, is a popular open-air emporium that is frequented by many tourists
on their shopping in Agra.
While shopping for marble
in Agra be careful about the quality of the stone. Genuine marble is
opaque and does not allow light to pass through. Do as much
bargaining as u can.
Check if Taj Mahal replica
you are buying is Genuine marble or not(i.e. Alabester)
Do not go for shopping
with guides or drivers, they have heavy commissions, which makes
your items costly.
While you were on a trip
to Taj Mahal or Red Fort ,you will come across many salesmen and touts
selling many things. Dont let them put your mood off,
simply ignore them.
Handicraft emporia from
other states are also present from where you can
pick crafts of your liking. Credit cards are widely accepted by
almost every shop.
