Departure from Delhi: Our journey begins with a pickup from your hotel, airport, or any preferred location in Delhi. We then set off on a scenic 3-hour drive to Agra, where you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes of Northern India.

Costuming & Sari Draping: You will be welcomed by a color master at a styling salon. She will help you choose the perfect colors that complement your uniqueness and contrast beautifully with the white marble of the Taj. Women can embody the image of a Mughal Empress (Padshah Begum), while men can transform into an Emperor (Padishah). Saree rental is included, but you have the option to purchase yours as a souvenir. Mehndi (Henna) Art: To complete your immersion, a skilled artist will adorn your hands with traditional Indian henna in a quiet, cozy garden. Choose from Arabic swirls, floral mandalas, or modern geometric patterns.

The Taj Mahal at Sunrise: As the first rays of sun paint the white marble a soft pink, you will explore the gardens of the Taj Mahal with your guide, who will share the history of this symbol of love. An optional professional photographer can be arranged to capture your best angles, allowing you to fully enjoy the walk in your royal attire.
