Witness skilled artisans at work as they meticulously craft intricate designs using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Learn about the intricate process of marble inlay work, where precious stones are delicately set into marble to create exquisite patterns and designs. Then, marvel at the artistry of traditional carpet weaving, as vibrant hues and intricate motifs come to life under the deft hands of master weavers.
As the day draws to a close, reflect on the beauty and craftsmanship that define Agra's cultural heritage, before returning to Delhi with memories that will last a lifetime.
