In the first place we were told that this show advertised itself as a Taj Mahal Sound & Light show so we thought great, that sounds good. However, we were fooled, it turns out to be nothing more than a bad 80 minute or so melodrama and dance performance in a theatre with a 5 minute section at the end... More

I was sold a storytelling about the Taj Mahal history with live actors. Let me tell you what I've got: - Almost no history. The 80 minute play will have over 40 minutes of cruise-like dancing in disco-powder covered not-authentic customs. - 10 minutes of showing off their Taj scale replica, so you fill atempted to take pictures with it...

The Taj Mahal show is more Bollywood than actual artistry - but it will give you a great overview of the story of the construction of Taj Mahal. The model of Taj used at the conclusion of the show is a scale model, built specifically for this performance. The theatre foyer has some beautiful art pieces but the showroom has... More

The show is not too bad but the Chinese translation was very terrible. It is very difficult for me to understand. I believe other languages are the same situation.

After visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra there's a "Bollywood" style musical of the Shah Jahan and Mumtaz love story that is a "must see". Its the Kalakriti Taj Musical, bookable in advance. If you did not know the full story before, you will learn much more about both characters: that she was a wise counsellor to him and he... More

I found this over sentimental & sickly. It could be so much better. It was nice to go see something whilst at Agra but compared to other shows, missed the mark for me

Good and entertaining performance, nice dance, colorful clothing.They could pay more attention to detail such as threads hang loose from (even the emperor) clothes, dancers movement less than perfectly synchronized. In retrospect (always 20-20) I may prefer a good teas on the coffeshop facing taj mahal. Does not know the price as this is part of the package.

Really worth catching if your staying in Agra. It in Hindi, but you are provided with headsets which they will set to the language you need. Also nice touch is a bottle of water that's by your seat too. 80 minute peformance whizzed by. Was nice to "see" the history of the Taj, and the dancing was wonderful. You cant... More
