While it is usually people from Agra who travel down to the great metropolis of New Delhi for shopping and entertainment, Agra’s Taj Mahotsav is something of an exception and the reverse may be true. This is one opportunity for people from Delhi to perhaps make a weekend trip or even  take several days to be part of the fun and vibrant Taj Mahotsav that begins on 18 February 2010 and will continue for 10 days.

The Kashmiri Gate or double gateway was another gate built by Shah Jahan. The royal processions of emperors and Queens used to pass through the gate on their trips to Kashmir. That is how this Gate got its name.

Beautifully landscaped and well laid out with small water bodies, fountains and a jogging track, the gardens are very popular with people of all ages.

The main attractions are the ancient monuments belonging to the Sayyid and Lodi periods around which the garden was laid out in 1936 by relocating the then existing village.
